[quote=Anonymous]Pew says 81% of people who attend religious services go because it's "very important" that "they want to be closer to God." Another 13% said being "closer to God" was "somewhat important" and only 4% said it wasn't important. So, the people going to churches, synagogues and mosques are not just there "for the community," as DCUM's atheists tell us on the daily, most recently today. Interestingly, the same Pew research suggests that even most people who *don't* attend church still believe. Among US adults who said they attend church less than a few times a year, just 28% said it's because they don't believe, while 37% said "I practice my faith in other ways" and 23% said "I haven't found a church or house of worship I like." Pew, beloved of DCUM's atheists, has spoken. Maybe we can put this to rest now? https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2018/08/01/why-americans-go-to-religious-services/[/quote]
