Change seems to be the key word the past year for elections. People are looking to replenish or restart our economy, but a article I read is suggesting people may start to replenish their religious side. Gallup had their theory that when the economy gets bad people would turn to religion. To test this theory Gallup hosted a nationwide survey where they called 428,516 houses to ask them if they have been attending church more often in the past year. When the results came back from the survey it indicated there had been no significant changes in church attendance. The only substantial change was peoples positive view on the economy which has substantially gone down from January of 2008. Change is something our nation is begging for right now, but weekly religious routines doesn’t seem to be the change we need.
