Subject: If the U.S. had 100 people: Charting Americans’ religious beliefs and practices: Pew research
10 of them think the Earth is not a sphere
11 of them believe that the gov't might be run by shape-shifting lizard people
12 of them believe that the moon landing was fake
20 of them believe that the government is using COVID-19 vaccines to track people with microchips
25 of them think the 2020 election was rigged
29 of them voted for Trump
Lots of overlap with the above groups.
Bottom line: a scary # of US adults are stupid. and breeding.

Also from Pew:

Religion Holds Steady in America:
Recent polling shows no clear evidence of a religious revival among young adults
“Pew Research Center polling finds that key measures of religiousness are holding steady in the United States, continuing a period of relative stability that began about five years ago.
The shares of U.S. adults who identify with Christianity, with another religion, or with no religion have all remained fairly stable in the Center’s latest polling.
The percentages of Americans who say they pray every day, that religion is very important in their lives, and that they regularly attend religious services also have held fairly steady since 2020.
The recent stability is striking because it comes after a prolonged period of religious decline. For decades, measures of religious belonging, behaving and believing had been dropping nationwide.“
This part is striking:
“Our recent data also shows that today’s youngest adults (those between the ages of roughly 18 and 22) are at least as religious as their immediate predecessors (slightly older people now mostly in their mid- to late-20s). But this is not the first time surveys have found levels of religiousness among the youngest adults that match or exceed those of slightly older adults.”

Interesting reading!
As of 2023, about 218 million of the 262 million adults in the United States said they believe in God or a universal spirit. Large numbers like these can be difficult to picture, but what if we scaled down the numbers by imagining a town of 100 people?
