American atheists are more religious than Christians in a lot of European countries, a new study shows.

Researchers compared a Pew Research Center study of Christian identity in Western Europe, with data previously gathered in the United States, The Atlantic reported.

Their findings included that Americans are much more religious than Western Europeans, and American "nones" — those who identify as atheist, agnostic, or nothing in particular—are more religious than European "nones."

But the third finding was the stunner: American "nones" are as religious as — or even more religious than — Christians in several European countries, including France, Germany, and the U.K.

"That was a surprise," Neha Sahgal, the lead researcher, told The Atlantic. "That's the comparison that's fascinating to me."

According to Sahgal, 23 percent of European Christians say they believe in God with absolute certainty; 27 percent of American "nones" say that. The survey also found 11 percent of Western Europeans now call themselves "spiritual but not religious."

Joseph Blankholm, a professor at UC Santa Barbara who focuses on atheism and secularism, told The Atlantic the Cold War is key to understanding why the United States has not secularized as profoundly as Europe has.

"The 1950s were the most religious America has ever been," he told the outlet. "'In God We Trust' becomes the official national motto. 'Under God' is entered into the pledge of allegiance. That identity is being consciously formed by specific actors like [Presidents Harry] Truman and [Dwight D.] Eisenhower, who are promoting a Christian identity at home and abroad, over against a godless communism. It's the Christianization of America — as a Cold War tool."

In the new Pew study, 27 percent of Americans call themselves "spiritual but not religious," praying regularly and believing in God, The Atlantic reported.

How can one with no religion be more religious. The statement makes no sense.
Perhaps they mean to say more moral.
I could buy that.

If you consider the klan , the southern baptists and jim crow,the inquisition and crusades a higher form of morality. then you really have problem with reality

You just seem to think you know the mind of God and yes, you are a fake Christian, you would never act in church the way you act here. That make you a faux Christian.

Sorry, you’re a horrible messenger and God wrote nothing down, it was humans believing they were inspired by God. This is where my doubt comes in because there are many text written by humans claiming to be inspired by God, all believing they have the truth.

Your opinion that others are more fake immoral and faux then prophet. Prophet condemns others action and uses his religion to beat others over the head with it while saying and promoting very unChristlike things. He claims to be a member of good standing in his church, I don’t think they would be at all impressed with his conduct here. It’s why I berate him, he’s a phoney

If you're going to judge by what's posted here then you would do well to pay closer attention to and berate the others who are much bigger phonies around here. And you don't.
That's all...

I think the key point is not that Americans are 'religious' but that the pretence of religion is needed to make money in most communities over there, whereas, over here, it is a matter of intelligence, conscience and such.

any thing can promote Jesus.....
