What People Talk About

Do you know what people talk about during the week? In our latest national survey we examined common topics of conversation and found the following:

• Four out of ten adults discuss religious beliefs or spiritual issues during a typical week.

• Of the seven topics explored, religion/spirituality was the least common topic of conversation.

• People are more likely to discuss what they saw in a movie or television show than any other topic measured in the survey.

• The adults most likely to discuss religious matters were some of the least expected, such as Baby Boomers and college graduates.
  

Right on. America is under the spell of the media. Why do we find more to talk about in movies that we do about God? Or is it all the same?
