Do People Still Believe in All That?
How Superstition Prepares a Nation for Possession
You’ve been told we live in an age of reason. That science replaced belief.
That spirits, omens, curses, and signs belong to primitive people from a distant past.
But this nation is not secular. It’s not even rational. It’s spiritually active—and increasingly aligned with forces it refuses to name.
Here are the numbers:
• 87% of Americans believe in God or a higher power.
• 54% say they believe in God as described in the Bible.
• 33% believe in some other non-biblical spiritual force.
• 50% believe in ghosts or spirits of the dead.
• 42% believe in demons or malevolent entities.
• 41% believe aliens have visited Earth.
• Over 60% of adults believe in at least one superstition—lucky numbers, knocking on wood, avoiding black cats, or reading horoscopes.
• 1 in 4 Americans engage in rituals—before tests, games, business meetings, or dates—seeking protection, favor, or control.
This is not fringe behavior. This is the baseline.
It includes your teachers, your coworkers, your physicians. Law enforcement. Politicians. Pastors. Judges. CEOs.
The illusion is not that belief is rare.
The illusion is that it’s conscious.
What you’re seeing is the rise of unconscious ritual, entertained without understanding, and performed without resistance. That is how possession begins.
I want you to understand how it spreads.
Your first task is to stop dismissing what people say they believe.
Start paying attention to what they do.
They already believe.
They already perform.
They just don’t know for whom.
Could it be you?
