Believing Your Beliefs?

There is an interesting article at Fox News today about a survey showing that many Americans aren't actually buying everything their preachers and their bibles are selling.

Americans: My Faith Isn't the Only Way to Heaven

Humorous Buzzword

"Apatheism—a disinclination to care all that much about one's own religion, and an even stronger disinclination to care about other people's—may or may not be something new in the world, but its modern flowering, particularly in ostensibly pious America, is worth getting excited about.Apatheism should not be assumed to represent a lazy recumbency, like my collapse into a soft chair after a long day. Just the opposite: it is the product of a determined cultural effort to discipline the religious mindset, and often of an equally determined personal effort to master the spiritual passions. It is not a lapse. It is an achievement."
