Hi Linda, thank you! You ask a good question. There is some data that might interest you on today's politics and religion in the PRRI report. Here's that link to their exhaustive survey I'm quoting. https://www.prri.org/research/religious-change-in-america/
The survey that was done can't answer my question because it hasn't happened yet. We'll see if being force fed religion affects affiliation years from now when we look back on a possible upcoming shift.
Marcia, I consider myself a "runaway Catholic" who hasn't stepped inside a church for many years. I'm in my late 80's, and have relied on a walker for several years. But I've kept my faith alive and growing. One of the best methods I use to maintain my faith is Pastoral Reflections Institute, created by Msgr. Don Fischer. I've known him for years and consider him a good friend and mentor. Try listening to Dom, who's podcasts are daily and based on a scripture for the day and a short homily a long with it. Think you might like it.
Well written. Thank you Marcia.
I am a strong proponent of separation of church and state.
I wonder if going the other way under the incoming administration - notably with education and the courts will drive more people AWAY from "religion".
