Everything Everywhere Daily - 10 Ways You Can Know That the Earth is a Sphere
One of the saddest things in the modern world is that with all of our technology, and with all of the information in the world at our fingertips, there are more people today who think the Earth is flat than there were 20 years ago.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Losing Religion in America
Today we’re talking about why most Americans are turning away from organized religions. Recent surveys show that for the first time in our history, fewer than half of American adults say they belong to an established church, mosque, synagogue, or other religious institution. The numbers have dropped significantly in the past 20 years. While the shift is most prevalent in younger adults, the trend is consistent across all generations.
Today, we’re joined by USC professor Diane Winston, who researches religion and spirituality. She’ll get into the reasons why people are turning away from established religious groups and what they’re leaning on instead.
But first, we’re speaking with pastor Cory Marquez. He left his old evangelical congregation and started a new church to attract more millennials. We chat about how religion is evolving and why he still thinks faith has a place in our modern society.
