report on (im)morality?

These are some findings from the report on American morality entitled “The Day Americans told the Truth.” 1. Nine out of ten people admit to lying in a regular basis. 2. One in 10 believe all of the Ten Commandments. 3. Ninety percent say they believe in God, but for most religion plays virtually no role in shaping their opinions on a long list of moral questions. 4. One-third of married people admit to having committed adultery. 5. Twenty percent of females testify to having been date-raped with less than 3% of the rapes reported. 6. Twenty-five percent of people under 25 admit to having lost their virginity by age 13, compared with 10% for ages 45-64 and 5% for ages 65 and older. 7. Seven percent said they would be willing to kill a stranger for 10 million dollars.
