Americans' highest priority

That is the topic of this survey by the Barna Group. Check out the link for the complete article.

The following two sentences particularly caught my attention as the pollster tried to reconcile people's verbal affirmations of faith, then choosing other aspects of their life as more important when asked to rank them.

"It seems as if God is in, but living for God is not. Many Americans are living a dual life – one filled with good feelings about God and faith, corroborated by some simple religious practices, and another in which they believe they are in control of their own destiny and operate apart from Him.”"
