A quotation from Peter Ustinov

Peter Ustinov (1921-2004) English actor, author, director
Interview (1995-06-22) by Warren Allen Smith, Free Inquiry Magazine

"People are not leaving the church because they’ve fallen away from Christ, they’re leaving the church because Christians are protecting pedophiles in the White House (Trump) and in congress (Gaetz), while claiming moral superiority because they’re 'pro-life.'”
~ Megan Tschanz
"The United States has experienced one of the largest declines in religiosity globally over the past decade, new research shows.
There has been a 17-percent drop in in the number of U.S. adults who say religion is an important part of their daily life between 2015, when it was 66 percent, and 2025, when it is 49 percent, according to recent Gallup polls."

"The 17-point drop in the percentage of U.S. adults who say religion is an important part of their daily life — from 66% in 2015 to 49% today — ranks among the largest Gallup has recorded in any country over any 10-year period since 2007."

For a president who recently wondered aloud whether he might get into heaven, the comments provided a notable mark of public #religiosity.
And for a country that has long had leaders who adhered to a separation of church and state

#Religiosity is mostly unrelated to #Islamophobia, nativism, right-wing authoritarianism, and #populism. But Islamophobia overlaps with both nativism and authoritarianism. So: people who fear immigration and want strict laws/harsh enforcement 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 tend to reject Islam, but not for religious reasons.

A thought from back in the day, not so long ago, when people might still have questioned it: "Religiosity & decency are unrelated. Any degree or none of each can co-exist with any degree or none of the other. Neither derives from nor causes the other." #philosophy #religion #religiosity

I need to catch a train to the airport, but let's review some common findings from this year's #IACSR/#IACESR:
#Spirituality seemed somewhat distinct from #religiosity
- Spirituality is perceived as more compatible with caring about and doing #science
- Reflective thinking may predict religiosity more reliably than spirituality
#Ritual
- is not just a religious phenomena
- is preferred differently between #cultures
- seems to help transmit #culture, belief, etc. (perhaps via #imagination
