For example, are murder, suicide, rape, abortion, etc. rates higher in Europe now than they were in the 1950s? Is the percentage that is religious higher or lower? We all know how the answers will work out, and I have strong suspicions that has a lot to do with this comparison not being made in the study. Basically, the argument is Europe Good, US Bad, US is more religious than Europe, therefore religion is bad. I'm really not impressed. Dan M.
