"In an exclusive survey of 1,011 people 50 and over, AARP The Magazine sought to learn just what Americans in the second half of life think about life after death. Over the years we’ve seen countless surveys examining Americans’ attitudes and beliefs about the afterlife, but we wanted to hear specifically from the AARP generation— those who are more than halfway to the point of finding out, once and for all, precisely how right or wrong they were about life after death." (Newcott, Bill, Sep/Oct 2007)
My mother told me about this article from AARP the Magazine.
"To begin, we found that people 50 and over tend to be downright conventional in their basic beliefs: nearly three quarters (73 percent) agree with the statement “I believe in life after death.” Women are a lot more likely to believe in an afterlife (80 percent) than men (64 percent)." (Newcott, Bill, Sep/Oct 2007)
By clicking on the title of this blog, you will get the whole article... meantime I am doing some research in what the beliefs are of isolated cultures still found around our planet; as if I am familiar with anthropologic studies. Why? ...well because I might find myself in someone's anthropologic literature and I never knew it.
More on Afterlife and beliefs latter. I hope you read the article -- Life After Death
By Bill Newcott, September & October 2007:
"If life is a journey, what is the destination? We asked people 50 and over to share their most deeply held beliefs. The result is an illuminating glimpse into America’s spiritual core."
