Religious Tolerance: America

Scientology Dept: It s a tribute to America s tradition of religious tolerance that Scientology is accepted throughout the country, the survey noted in its analysis of the results, according to Globe and Mail. On the home front, the Obamas were the clear choice when it came to which family children might marry into, with 19 percent choosing the presidential family compared with 18 per cent for the Kennedys and the 16 per cent for the British royal family and religious surveys have estimated that less than 100,000 Americans practice Scientology, which is often branded a cult by its critics. The poll also showed that brawn trumped brains with 40 per cent of Americans saying they wanted an Olympic gold medal gracing their mantel, while 36 percent would prefer a Pulitzer prize and seven percent wanted an Oscar.
