Many people like to portray religious believers as superstitous rubes who do not believe in science and ignore hard facts and data in favor of superstition. However, it appears that this belief is not based on empirical facts or data. Today's Wall Street Journal has a column by Mollie Ziegler Hemingway that focuses on a recently released Baylor University poll and study conducted by Gallup indicates that Evangelical Christians are the least likely people to believe in paranormal activity than other groups, while athiests and the irreligious are the most likely. The article reveals some "interesting" beliefs held by the virulently anti-religious Bill Maher as well.
