Church: What About You?

I attended church for 18 years, mostly because my parents believed it was important. When faced with the actual choice to attend on my own, I decided it wasn't important. But how many Americans actually attend church (or a religious institution) on a regular basis? Via Andrew Sullivan, an interesting analysis on this issue - and how the numbers typically floated about might be deceiving.

I'm not sure I agree with the author's conclusions, since there are some logical leaps, but in a political and religious climate where going to church is seen as "fashionable," it certainly seems reasonable that some people might lie about it to "fit in." I saw this happen in Tulsa quite a bit during my high school days.
