We can infer from the passage that …......

Religious institutions play an important role in the
social and .spiritual life: in the Southern Stales of
America. Southern Protestants are nearly twice as
likely as non-Southern Protestants to assert that
church going is an essential part of the Christian life,
and on any given Sunday they are, In fact, more likely
to be found in church. They are less likely than
Protestants elsewhere to feel that religion is irrelevant
to the modern world. They agree on the fundamentals
of religion, which allows .them the luxury . of
disagreement on relatively minor points of faith and
practice. They are satisfied -with their churches, and
they support them accordingly with their time and
money.
