No matter where the markets close today, a lot of people believe its gods will. According to the baylor religion survey that came out this week, 20% of americans, or one in five think that god controls the economy. Paul froze is a sociology professor at baylor and co-authored that survey. Paul, let me ask you, if there is a significant number of people out there think the economy works because god wants it to work, how do these people explain what were seeing today? The reasoning behind such a horrible economy. Is it that god is punishing us? Thats a good question. Complicated question. The baylor religion surveys are great because they have lots of questions about god and what were finding, as you said, about a fifth think that god is guiding the economy. But those fifth also think that god is an economic conservative. So that god favors the free market, lack of government regulation, low taxation M164.529
