I feel the need to preface this next adventure with a disclaimer. For those of you who like sports, I wholeheartedly welcome you to the Features section. This is the first step toward realizing that the paper doesn't actually open right to left and that this isn't page 16, 11 pages after the Sudoku, but in fact page 3, two pages before it. Mazal Tov!

Secular Europe and religious America?

Religion has long been a central aspect of societies worldwide, but its role and importance varies throughout the globe. As industrialization and globalization continue to impact every aspect of life, many wonder about the changing role of religion in a modern world and if the popular claim that Americans are more religious than Europeans is actually valid.

Yes, it actually exists. And at college campuses, no less.
