I think you make a good point, even in Bible Thumping America I bet a lot of people who identify as religious don’t deep down believe any of it.

At my most recent “church session to satisfy family” the preacher talked a lot about handling doubt. I found it very revealing that, on any given Sunday, you might find a preacher feeling the need to re-convince the congregation that the thing they’re there for is “real.” It made me think, “But I thought this was obvious truth to you? Haven’t you moved beyond this point?”

Interestingly, the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches don’t agree on which day Easter falls upon!
