Gallup: U.S. church membership dips below 50% for first time
Having the Church community while growing up was great. But the fact that admission to this community required total philosophical adherence is just bizarre.<p>Frankly, growing up in the church left me with a broken moral code. It was only once I left it in my teens and had to work things out for myself that I feel like I could properly ground myself ethically. Having a moral system imposed on you can do that.
