Here's what's been going on in religion recently:
- The writing of the Bible may have started a lot earlier than scholars previously thought. (Haaretz)
- The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life has recently been full of useful statistics about beliefs and attitudes in the U.S. 16.1% of US adults identify as "unaffiliated." Does this mean a lot of agnostics/atheists, or that a significant number of people are fed up with religious organizations?
- Also worth seeing: How religious is your state? (Pew) and the increasingly common mixture of faiths (Pew).
- The recent battle over gay marriage here in D.C. (my hometown) has been leaving many questioning whether the Catholic Church is too influential, or at least, trying to be. Now, a Washington Post guest columnist is asking the same question over a different topic: the healthcare debate. (WaPo).
Have a great Martin Luther King Day weekend!
