Religion in America recalibrates

A new study by the University of Chicago shows private religious practices such as prayer are on the rise in a kind of recalibration, or redefining, of what it means to be religious in America. There is also an increase in the number of people who believe in an afterlife and greater tolerance for those who question or shun religion. The report also revealed a weakening of weekly attendance of religious services. 73% believe in an afterlife; 59% pray daily; 26% attend traditional services.
