U.S. fundamentalism

[tom_g]

Does anyone know of a good site that has some hard statistics on religiosity in the U.S. vs other countries? I know that the U.S. is supposed to be off the charts with regards to religiosity and fundamentalism in relation to other industrialized countries. I'm curious to see some real numbers however.

This crap scares the crap out of me: http://www.pollingreport.com/science.htm

If this is correct, only 15% of the U.S. population believes in evolution/science?

Not only would I like to see some real good stats on this stuff, I'd like to see the numbers over time. Is the country getting worse, or just progressing in an unusually-slow pace?

Wow... if only 15% believe in evolution... about fifty percent must believe the earth is flat.

They obviously think that the pictures from ths space shuttle are fake, then. Just like we didn't land on the moon. Morons. Dammit.

Well of course, the pictures are fake... Satan is using photoshop to trick good christians...
