The US has a tradition of religious tolerance and every resident (居民) has total freedom of religion without hindrance from the state or community.
Although the influence of religion decreased in most Western socie?ties in the latter part of the 20th century,the US has remained religious (it's one of the world's most deeply religious nations) . The national motto "In God We Trust" is in?scribed upon US coins,and the pledge of allegiance (效忠宣誓) to the American flag still refers to the US as "one nation under God" despite a few legal attempts to have the words removed. Religion is a part of Americans' everyday life (only sport is taken more seriously) .
More than 90 per cent of Americans claim to believe in God (and Mammon) , two thirds are members of a local church or temple and around 4. 5 per cent attend religious services at least once a week. Some 60 per cent of Americans are Protestant,25 per cent Roman Catholic,2 per cent Jewish,1 per cent Orthodox and 4 per cent belong to other religions such as Buddhist,Hindu or Moslem (the remaining 8 per cent claim no religion) .
Not surprisingly,more Americans believe in heaven (around 80 per cent) than hell (65 per cent) , and 70 per cent believe in life after death. As a consequence of the diverse religions,Americans refer to "first" or "given" names,rather than "Christian" names.
Astonishingly,around one third of Americans claim to be " bornagain Chris?tians" ,because they believe life starts anew (重新) when you commit yourself to Jesus Christ (being born again doesn't,however,guarantee you a longer life) . They believe that every word in the Bible is literally true and that Darwin's theory of evo?lution is false. The southern and southwest regions are known as the "bible belt" because of such people's firm belief. In many parts of the US,there's a determina?tion by religious believers to force nonbelievers into their views,often through socalled street preachers (传道者) .
