宗教
一百年前,欧洲人和美国人的生活有很大不同。那时几乎人人每周去一次教堂或犹太教会堂,而现在有许多人从不去教堂。但是宗教仍然很重要,尤其对美国人来说。
超过百分之六十的美国人去教堂或犹太教会堂。美国有约七千多万清教徒,近五千万罗马天主教徒,六百多万犹太教徒。宗教在美国人生活中占有重要地位。美国人希望他们的总统是一个信奉宗教的人。他们花很多钱兴建崭新漂亮的教堂,许多人喜欢有大量音乐和戏剧的现代宗教仪式。
英国人没有美国人那样对宗教感兴趣。信奉宗教的人大约占总人口的百分之十六,其中两百五十万是新教徒,一百五十万是罗马天主教徒。英国还有大约一百万穆斯林和四十万犹太教徒。宗教在英国人的生活中依然占有一席之地。每个城镇村庄都有漂亮的古老大教堂和普通教堂。人们大多选择在教堂结婚,在圣诞节和复活节这两个基督教的重要节日,很多人会到教堂做礼拜。很长一段时间以来,去教堂的英国人越来越少了。但情况现在看来有所改观,到教堂做礼拜的人在逐渐增多。
