I read the graph and come away with this. The closer you get to God, the closer you get to God. Young kids think they will live forever. When we start to bury our parents and some friends, we figure it out. Sounds normal to me.
I don’t think it’s that simple, I bet if there were a poll done 30 years ago, the numbers would look like this at all.
I think what this really reflects is that pop culture, and primary and secondary, and even university education, is biased decidedly in favor of secular humanism.
The real unknown in this poll is known how that subgroup divides itself among the atheists, agnostics, and simply non religious. I’d like to see those numbers.
