Although there are from 3,000 to 4,000 different religions represented in the United States, the three original Semitic Abrahamic mainstream ones are the world's most dangerous serial killers. Jesus, the prophet of peace, was a Jew and his gentile spirit would never kill–one of the Ten Commandants.
Some say Christianity has the most members. But ever since its torturous deadly Inquisition people are still afraid to deny the belief system since infidels, anyone not swallowing its whole dogma or even part of it, were tortured or burned alive at the stake by the church and state working together!
Even Michael Servetus, not a Catholic but a Protestant protestor, met his death in this savage way by John Calvin. Servetus was a scientist who had discovered important pulmonary functions. Although the brutal part of the Inquisition has finally been banned, the fear still lies hidden in our DNA. As a result many people are afraid to say they are not believers of Christianity and end up as hypocrites. As a result statistics are false.
It's mostly women who have always been religious, as men have always made up the dogma, in "god's name"! For years I used to watch spouses sleeping and snoring in church, as I envisioned them playing golf on sunny greens.
The number of unaffiliated people devoid of religion has more than doubled, as young people are often not interested in church. Religion has always been fluid as people change their faiths sometimes as must as their clothing. Religion in America is moving south–south of the border among Latinos where crosses dominate the skyline.
Remember, when archaic religious texts were first written, the mentality of the men also believed that during an eclipse of the moon a monster was eating a chunk out of it!
