CANTERBURY, England – More than half of the 5.4 million people living in Scotland have no religion, according to a survey published by Scottish Social Attitudes.
The 52 percent of unaffiliated Scots represents a 12 percent jump from 16 years ago, when 40 percent of survey respondents said they had no religious affiliation.
(CNSNews.com) – The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) sent a letter to the House of Representatives on Thursday urging them to support the Conscience Protection Act, which aims to "prevent governmental discrimination against providers of health services who decline involvement in abortion."
Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore and Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York both sent the joint statement as Chairmen of the USCCB's Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty and Committee on Pro-Life Activities respectively.
