Question: Do you think religion plays as great a role in our lives as it did 50 years ago in America? Why or how?
Sierra Mann: No, because people years ago were more religious. I think they read their bibles more.
Leo Curley: I think so - times have changed, but, I think religion is still pretty important in our lives.
Mary Moore: No, I don't this it does as much as 50 years ago - but it should. It is just the way people think.
