Recession Not Making People More Religious

A new Gallup poll shows that America’s religiosity has not been impacted by the recession. There has been no significant change in the amount of Americans who attend regular church services, or identify themselves as religious. The Gallup poll states, “It is not an unreasonable conjecture that the current recession would cause Americans to increasingly turn to religion as a surcease from their economic or personal sorrow. But that does not appear to be the case.”
