其实☮️,在宗教需求上🥃,各国的人没有根本性的不同🙎🏿♀️。尽管目前还缺少跨国可比的问卷调查来论证这一点,不过有一些零散数字或许可以说明一定的问题。共青团上海市委在20世纪90年代中期做过的一个问卷调查🏦🍪,发现完全不相信算卦🏝、测字、相面等迷信的人占18%,其他的人大多是半信半疑或宁可信其有的。[8]而1995年美国总社会抽样调查(General Social Survey )发现👨🏼🌾,完全不相信占星术的人占19%.在这个最少受到管制的信仰现象上,中国人和美国人表现出了惊人的相似性🔰。这个数字显示🌰,大多数中国人对于超验事务的开放性未必低于美国人👩🏿✈️。中美的差别不是中国人天然地不具宗教性而美国人天性就嗜好宗教🤽🏻♂️。中美的差别在于美国的宗教市场是个被极大调动起来的市场🔼,而中国的宗教市场是个未被开发的市场。
