Church attendance
Gallup International indicates that 41%[1] of American citizens report they regularly attend religious services, compared to 15% of French citizens, 10% of UK citizens,[2] and 7.5% of Australian citizens.[3]
However, these numbers are open to dispute. ReligiousTolerance.org states:
"Church attendance data in the U.S. has been checked against actual values using two different techniques. The true figures show that only about 21% of Americans and 10% of Canadians actually go to church one or more times a week. Many Americans and Canadians tell pollsters that they have gone to church even though they have not. Whether this happens in other countries, with different cultures, is difficult to predict."

最近の日本語では、21% ぐらいだと「まれ」なことになるんでしょうかね。だとすると、今の日本には失業者など「非常にまれ」、だって身近で見たことないもん、とかいうのかな。まあいいや。
ちなみに、中央部と両岸層じゃ 3 割ぐらい差があるのよん。
