percentage increase isn't really very important, especially when: 1) the initial number is low, and 2) when the margin of error is considered. Typical surveys like this generally have something around 4 points +/- (could be as little as about 3, or as much as about 5, depending on how the survey was conducted, etc), so the original measure was something between 3 and 11 percent, and the second between 12 and 20 percent. Because of the margin of error, the increase may or may not be a "huge" change.
GOOD FOR US! and on almost all counts.
Most surprising is the huge change in attitude toward polygamy.
I'd bet good money this "filth" you mention is no more than your prudery speaking; your uncomfortability with sexuality and nudity. That you evidently feel one can't be sexual and enjoy nudity while being member in good standing in a religion is a bit simpleminded. Or am I mistaken, and you are comfortable with sexuality and nudity?people are becoming less moral, which is no big surprise. look at the filth on TV books, and the internet. it all reflects a lack of faith in religion

Less murder, less crime, less war, less disease, completely killed small pox, etc. Never been more evil.
More freedom, more rights, more equality, and more access to communication and information. It says a lot about the groups who regard such developments as "immoral".
Or, maybe, that the "morals" dictated by religious beliefs have been found to be often discriminatory in nature or flat out incorrect. I understand that because of your beliefs, you are biased against holding this view, but it is certainly possible. And, the more time goes by, the evidence is pointing more and more this way.people are becoming less moral, which is no big surprise. look at the filth on TV books, and the internet. it all reflects a lack of faith in religion

Anyone who tried to make us "turn-back" deserves a whole heap of ridicule, imho.I think that many religious fundamentalists struggle with the reality that we no longer live in the dark ages, nor are we ever returning.
We're really go'n down the tubes.More freedom, more rights, more equality, and more access to communication and information.....
