    I believe also that church and going to church, singing, celebrating and getting together with the brothers and sisters has a lot to do with the fact that it's not only a religious activity, but a social activity as well. ~ 2 cents ~

      It's a place where they, as a group that had been discriminated for so long, could/can get together and have that sense of belonging and acceptance that every human being looks for and needs. Therefore they tend to hold on to their religious traditions and be more vocal about it than other ethnicities. ~ let's make it 5 cents ~ Anyways, it's just my guess :)

        I dont know, I dont have a need to belong or be accepted at all. Most of those black people that are massively religious are also massive hypocrites as well. I think religion for alot of them is an escape from whatever harse realities that have in life. Like, sure my life kinda sucks, but my rewards in the kingdom of heaven will be great.

        There is no kingdom of heaven, there is no hell. There isnt anything, its just like sleep, without dreams. Forever.

      Yes, but why wouldn't that apply to other groups as well?
