Maybe it is just me, but it seems that there are trends in Christianity in reference to class. Higher class and lower class individuals seem to be more spiritual than the middle class. Also, professionals seem to question religion much more than people of the blue collar class. Why does class play such a significant role in religion?
It is possible that people of the lower class look for salvation, something to save them from their strife. The high class may owe their status to divine right. The middle class is made up of those who worked hard to get to that status and tend to dominate our cities, where liberalism flourishes. Is it possible that the gap between the very rich and the very poor is actually caused my faith in God? Those that owe their luck to God owe it to faith, while those scraping plates to make ends meet have nothing but faith. On the other hand, the middle class owes nothing to faith, only human blood, sweat, and tears.
