I'd be interested in your responses to the same questions I asked mmurfin above.

Just curious.

Religion seems to have a greater hold in the States than it does in Europe. Or the UK at least, especially for younger people.

I don't know what age you are, but in the UK, for someone younger than about 40 to say they prayed in their car on the way to work would be kind of... unusual I think.

That'll be because the US was initially colonised by people who felt they were being ostracised for their religion. In addition there was the large influx of Irish immigrants, also a strongly religious group.

I am extremely unreligious and from Finland. Most people I know here seem to share my attitude. Out of a hundred people between ages 18-40, that I know, maybe one or two confess to being very religious, so I don't really know a lot of religious people. I don't really care one way or the other - believe in what you want.

for anyone wanting to chat about religon....
go to your doctor, tell him you were walking along and a burning bush suddenly spoke to you saying 'i am god, here are my 10 commandments'

watch how fast the doctor has you committed to your local mental asylum

personally, every particle in my body came from the planet earth and they will all go back there when i run out of juice.
but id still rather a religous man is standing next to me when in 2012 that LHC opens up a black hole and we all start to be swallowed up into oblivion!
(just incase!)

Christian here, specifically an adventist, it's sometimes amazing how some people jump towards derogatory terms when it comes to religious topics, perhaps its a sense of insecurity?

Lets just stop this sort of talk right here. We don't need to be trading smartass remarks. No offense to either of you.
