Believers and Non-Believers
Nowadays, believers in the West (and in the Far East) are a shrinking minority,
although it's worth noting that today, those who identify as believers truly
are, whereas in the past, when everyone claimed to be a believer, not all of
them actually were.
Nonetheless, religious culture is being reassessed and is gaining an
increasingly significant role in the life of nations: if all politicians respect
the Pope and attend his funeral, it means he has a following, a prestige that
politicians seek to curry favor with.
