From Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger:
What is it that gives “great meaning” to the lives of Americans? There are some — those who want to convince you that the United States is a christian country — that would have you believe religion is the thing that gives people meaning in their lives. But that is simply not the case.
The Pew Research Center asked Americans what gave them meaning in their lives, and religion did not finish well.
Though I’m surprised by how high the percentage is, it’s still a shame that only 34% of us find meaning in our work when it consumes so much of our time and keeps us from everyone and everything else that we enjoy.
