Maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel

There are no divides, demographic or political, in the public's overwhelming rejection of the idea that Sept. 11 was a sign that God no longer protects the United States. Only 5% hold that view.

Yet Americans are conflicted over the centrality of religion to personal morality. The public is split about equally over whether belief in God is necessary for one to be a moral person (50% say such belief is not needed, 47% disagree).

But the public's low regard for people who are not religious does not undermine its support for religious pluralism. Even though most Americans (67%) consider the United States a "Christian nation," an 84% majority believes that a person can be a good American even if he or she does not have religious faith. By more than three-to-one, Americans also reject the idea of churches and other houses of worship endorsing political candidates.

Obviously none of the inhabitants of Freeperville were survayed in this pole, but maybe people are starting to get tired of all this religious crap of the last few years.
