May 23, 2014 |

It's natural to assume people to go church to pray. But sociology tells us many people go to be seen. After all, if you're not noticed at church, what might happen to your business? What would the neighbors think? It's the same impulse that leads people to lie and say they've gone to church, even if they haven't. In the first installment of our new series, Faith by the Numbers, we dig into the data that show how lying about church attendance is a common practice in America.
