RELIGIOUS LITERACY
Religious people live longer. There’s plenty of scientific evidence to support that statement, and if you click on the link you can read about several.
RELIGIOUS LITERACY
Guests of many religions were in attendance. We had Jewish relatives from my side, Catholics from my husband's side, Christians from the groom’s side, and of course, Scientologist friends in abundance.
TOLERANCE
I have good friends who are Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and Buddhist, and many more who are still searching and haven’t quite made up their minds.
RELIGIOUS LITERACY
And at the end of the concert, she smiled. Women had shivered, men had wept. Reverend James Cleveland, who had brought her to that Church to sing with that choir—his choir—was so moved that he had to stop. He was so embraced, he had to sit down. He sobbed into a napkin.

RELIGIOUS LITERACY

That’s more than the total population of U.S. Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and Mormons, and millions more than the 4-8 million estimated U.S. Jewish population.
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
