"It's one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life and I completely advocate people 'coming out',"

Seriously?! Where is this an issue? Unless you're running for public office nobody cares what religion you do or don't follow. I've lived in several states, and no one has ever asked me about my religion or talked about their religion (not counting the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses going door-to-door).

"26% of them see themselves as spiritual"

Can someone reconcile this for me? Wouldn't "spiritual" imply something along the lines of spirits/supernatural?
