Today Trinity College announced the completion of the 3rd ARIS (American Religious Identification Survey). They randomly called 54,461 adults in one country under God and found out that more people are godless.
They said: "the percentage of Americans claiming no religion, which jumped from 8.2 in 1990 to 14.2 in 2001, has now increased to 15 percent." And, "Only 1.6 percent of Americans call themselves atheist or agnostic. But based on stated beliefs, 12 percent are atheist (no God) or agnostic (unsure), while 12 percent more are deistic (believe in a higher power but not a personal God). The number of outright atheists has nearly doubled since 2001, from 900 thousand to 1.6 million. Twenty-seven percent of Americans do not expect a religious funeral at their death."
Hey Vivian - is the economic situation getting you down? Hell may be the growth industry of your time.

I don't even know where to begin with this...lets just hope that the bible thumpers don't read this and take action...its too late cause I just called Rev. Hauge in SA and he's coming to bring the word to you...WORD!
The Rev. Hauge will be asking YOU why he doesn't see you at church - being his neighbor and all that...
