Religion in America

According to the article, Americans do not have the same faith in God as they did in previous times. Many Americans are factual and like information that can be proven. The question, "Does God exist," can not be accurately answered by fact. Discoveries in science are pushing the idea of a god farther and farther away. With notions like the Big Bang Theory and evolution, people may begin to question who is right. The Bible or the scientists? Religious extremist also seem to be a turn off for religion. When people begin to use the idea of God to justify wrong doings, people may think that there is no good in religion, especially when the gods in different religions are similar. For example, Christians, Jews, and Muslims all worship what many consider the same god. Christianity was spread with war and bloodshed and Muslim extremists are not making this one god seem any better. People may also loose faith if they have been through hard times. No matter how many times they pray, their situation does not get any better. People like this may begin to loose faith because they believe that God is not doing anything for them. People who feel singled out in a negative way by the person or being that they are supposed to worship may begin to question the abilities of religion and the works of God himself. There are very few people who remain completely faithful when it comes to religion.
