I vote the Catholic Parents as "most likely to have an out-of-control" teen in the first place. They create the monster and then send it away to be "saved." Self-righteous Idiots.

The Rabbi, meanwhile, would be more likely to have happy, well adjusted kids.

I despise religion in all its forms. It fosters ignorance and intolerance. It always comes with nonsensical rules. It automatically defines everyone outside the 'one true' religion as the enemy. It is a tool of oppression.

I agree Ant. They are nuts. Most religions also do have nonsensical rules that make no sense. But I wonder if the extent to which people let it screw up their life varies from place to place. over here mainly because of our lazy apathy about most things that people get all in a lather over there is neither the level of fundamentalism or the level of anger toward the excessively pius that i see in the US. The mentality is either -Just dont come knocking on my door- or that religion is a nice idea but it begins and ends with going to church at christmas or sending the kids to a private school which is usually by default religious. i tend to think it is like any other wacky vice. perfectly OK in moderation. Thus i give to the major religious charities, attend the baptisms etc of friends children and every now and then allow my mother tell me i should occasionally go to mass.  

Does this tend to be the view of the silent majority in the US?

I still vote that the reason most people are religious is down to two reasons:

1) Rote. Habit. Cultural/social reasons.

2) Fear of death/ easy answers to life and existence, especially "meaning".

Pussies.
