Religion

This article is talking about how much America has changed, and that many people in America are now calling themselves "spiritual" rather than religious. Religion can influence you buy how you were brought up, or how you choose to live your life. There is so much immigration that goes on in America that new groups and cultures are coming all the time. These new religions that are brought to the U.S can influence people already living here. This article is saying that not everyone in America just calls themselves Christian anymore. New religions are everywhere, but also being atheist has become very popular. A lot of celebrities have become atheist and display this by wearing the red bracelets. This might cause fans to become atheist because they want to be like them. My family is Christian, so I call myself a Christian too. I do believe in what Christians believe. However, there are so many different religions and everyone thinks that their religion is right. I think that Islamics are weird for what they believe in and how they live their lives, but they think I'm just as weird for being Christian. Religion is something personal, and maybe there are some cases in which people do not know what to believe or how to classify themselves. Maybe this is why many Americans call themselves "spiritual" rather than "religious.
