Barna: America needs 'spiritual renewal' as fewer than half of Americans believe God exists
'Nothing short of sweeping national repentance and spiritual renewal can save America from itself’

“…. Nearly half of self-identified Christians (47%) and a slightly smaller share of theologically identified born-again Christians (40%) said the same. ...When asked what they believed God provided to them, a majority of those who believe in God cited Him as a source of hope (72%), comfort (71%), peace (65%), guidance (64%), compassion (60%), joy (60%), mercy (58%) and purpose (54%). Smaller shares of respondents listed God as a source of miracles (47%), opportunities (41%), security (38%), responsibilities (33%) and power (31%). Less than one-quarter of those who believe in God think He provides identity (24%) and boundaries (19%). ...The data in the report is based on responses collected from 2,100 U.S. adults in January. The survey has a margin of error of +/-2 percentage points. …”

This data shows that god botherers are emotionally and cognitively stunted individuals who never matured to adulthood. Their delusions have filled their need for a parental figure to comfort them and solve all their problems. That’s a maturity level of childhood. And the declining number of those afflicted explain why the Mango Malignancy has not mandated weekly church attendance or a nationwide abortion ban. Without the power of the priests chanting magic mantras to compel obedience through existential fear, the state can only rely on raw physical and emotional threat to compel a uniformly obedient populance.

This data may also explain the Maga cult of Trump. The sentence quoted above could easily be written as “…..When asked what they believed Trump provided to them, a majority of those who believe in Trump cited Him as a source of hope (72%), comfort (71%), peace (65%), guidance (64%), compassion (60%), joy (60%), mercy (58%) and purpose (54%). Smaller shares of respondents listed Trump as a source of miracles (47%), opportunities (41%), security (38%), responsibilities (33%) and power (31%)….” Perhaps the conclusion can be drawn that Magas have the same psychological needs as the and have projected the same delusios onto the Horror that occupies the White House.
