Do people genuinely believe in religion anymore, or just vaguely identify?

I mean even people who identify with a particular religion most of them are not practicing.

They kind of vaguely believe.

Most people treat religion as a social label because they mistake comfort for meaning. True faith is not about following rules or seeking emotional relief but about aligning your life with an objective excellence that transcends the mundane. When you strip away the desire for applause or simple gratification, you realize that the only pursuit worth the effort is the cultivation of a higher, honorable standard. Those who chase common pleasures are settling for a lesser existence. Genuine belief is found in the quiet, rigorous commitment to a standard that feels earned in the eyes of the divine rather than the eyes of the crowd.

Lot's of them still are. Which was surprising for me to see 200 years after the age of enlightenment. I really thought people finally understood that religion is snake oil. But I guess not. Roughly 30% of Americans are still religious and practicing. 50% are claiming to be religious. so the majority of the people who do identify as religious are also practicing.

I genbuinely have Loved and Folloed Him sinc the age of Six, he is my Father, His only son died for us on that cross, I am a stronggggg belivever... Everyone needs Him and needs to get saved to make Heaven their home...

The Bible says that in the last days many would fall away from the church. So don't be surprised, because I think the last days are near.

Has anyone ever, or do people just go along to fit in with their tribe? I expect there are a lot of doubters in churches.

[AngryCarl3]

Most people don't even known how to practice their religion. It's just a label they like to wear.
