Belief in creationism has always been sky-high, the legacy of a society where damn near everyone used to be religious in some form or another. 40% is probably a little low compared to prior years.
That 40% also includes folks who are "smart" but raised religious and still are, but who have simply never bothered to examine their beliefs about the origins of the universe. I mean, whether the Earth is 10,000 years old or 4 billion, it doesn't impact their lives materially one bit. In fact, a lot of them probably know deep down that actually examining this question could lead to questioning other things they don't want to question. I know quite a few people like this...
Yeah, capital shifted back to religiosity to combat secular socialism. Embedding capitalist ideology in church doctrine and creating the prosperity gospel we have today.
Unfortunately not pure Yankee shit, due to colonialism lots of people in South Saharan Africa are religious fundamentalists, I think the latest stats is 75-80% of South Africans view themselves as Christian and 56% believe in some form of creationism and deny the fact of evolution. It also leads to really contradictory views such as 80% of people believing homosexually is morally wrong but 70% of people willing to accept and protect the rights of gay people. Just really confusing as someone that's lived there all my life
