A new U.S. News poll shows that more Americans believe in hell today than did in the 1950s or even 10 years ago. But like the pope, most now think of hell as "an anguished state of existence" rather than as a real place. It should come as little surprise, say some scholars, that modern educated Americans would reject notions of a blazing underworld where anguished souls writhe in endless torment.
En un estudio dirigido por U.S. News Poll resulta que, el número de americanos que creen en la existencia del infierno se ha aumentado respecto a 50 años atrás o a tan solo 10 años, pero la gran mayoría de ellos sostienen que es sólo un estado de la existencia y no un lugar real.
