Americans really don’t attend church as much as they claim to. Here

90’s which compared actual church attendence in one county in Ohio
with a poll done in that county.

Thank you! I read about that study years ago and always wanted to
track it down.

I said earlier the small town/rural South is a small part of the U.S.
pop. In the 2000 Census, the nonmetro pop was 22% of the U.S. total,
and the Southern nonmetro/rural pop was 8% of the U.S. total. But
those are the “real” people in some eyes, aren’t they?
