Also, political party was linked to religious beliefs, with 77 percent of Republicans saying they believed in heaven, compared to 54 percent of Democrats.

Those Americans who say they do not believe in God -- four percent -- as well as those who say they have no religion -- 11 percent -- were very close the figures in the 2005 survey.

In all 45 percent of Americans say they have had at least two religious encounters in their lives, the survey found, and conservative Protestants were more likely than Catholics or Jews to report religious or mystical experiences.

Look at the groups and ask what education they probably received. Appears that religion is the crutch of the poor and uneducated.

What they often fail to realize is that there are guardian angels around, and they're not 'heavenly' messengers. They're the real people we meet every day, that help us, show us how to do things, role models, and people who are prepared to stand up for us when we seem stuck in a corner. sure often they can be hard to see and find, and often we don't find them because we don't look hard enough, but there is the idea that the people who are most likely to have guardian agnels, are the ones that are prepared to be guardian angels. Things like that usually work in both directions.

Shocking! Over half of Democrats believe in heaven?

Shocking! Over half of Democrats believe in heaven?

Maybe they believe in a democratic heaven

Well, Colo, 54% of Democrats are idiots.
And don't forget the racists, too.

Well said, pokkets

I don't understand how surveying 1,648 Americans translates to the population of America. "824 Americans Believe In Guardian Angels" would be a more accurate headline, in my opinion...

I guess you lot have never had the freaky experience of 'hearing' something, giving it the o.k., following it through, and doing some head-shaking over the improbable results.
Damn straight it's nuts - and rare.

My comment was aimed at Christopher Bader, no offence intended to clipper Mohir.

Reminds me of the joke about someone dead being showed around the upstairs mansion and being told to walk quietly because that room was full of some religion who thought they were the only ones there.

None taken, Carrerinyes
