Read it and weep. Some on here are going to feel very vindicated, though, and the point they have been trying to make will come very clear with these new STATISTICS:

Of course, I believe there is evidence that some of the 'non religious' counterparts are merely religiously occupied with being obstructionists!
Washington (CNN) People who are religiously active live more involved and connected lives, according to a Pew Research study released on Friday.
The study, titled The civic and community engagement of religious active Americans, painted a broad picture of religious Americans and found that involvement in religious organizations usually go hand-in-hand with participation in civic organizations and a positive outlook on their community.
There is something unique about religious and spiritual involved people that contribute to their trust, positive outlook, involvement and engagement in the community, said Jim Jansen, senior fellow at Pew and the leader of the study.
Pew asked Americans about their membership in 28 different kinds of organizations and clubs. The average person not involved with a religious organization participated in 2.11 groups. That compares to an average of 5.11 groups that religious Americans were involved in.
