Another interesting thing to remember in America you don't have to pay part of your salary to the religion you say you belong to. I can't remember which European countries do this but it is another reason why their numbers have gone down significantly. It's easy to say "oh, I'm a Christian and I belong to xyz denomination" but if they started taking money out of people's paychecks to give to that church I imagine the number of agnostics would rise significantly too. Or if they started taxing churches then you'd see a lot less churches. I personally knew a pastor that was using his church to launder money from his other business.

Thank Gawd for that !

Yay!
