It is not debatable, though, that today's journalists, as shown by survey after survey, are non-religious to the extreme. (The last survey I saw showed that only 8% of journalists go to church or synagogue on a regular basis).

Amen! (Although my somewhat dated data differs slightly.)

How Journalists Celebrate Spirituality


50 percent of journalists [say] they have no religion, and some 80 percent rarely ever [go] to church
"I remember very vividly looking around the news room - big urban news room with about 200 editorial employees - and I was kind of pondering what it was that made me see the world so differently than all of my friends and colleagues in the newsroom and it clicked one day when - I was pretty sure, knowing all of these things as well as I did, that I was the only one who went to church on Sunday," said Farah.

My mistake—doing this from memory. I knew there was an “8” involved. It was a 1993 survey of who voted for Clinton vs. Bush (only 8% voted for Bush). 80% who never go to church is correct.
