What Americans believe

There’s some fascinating data here – including the information that 24% of Americans believe that they were once someone else.
I guess that I would find it hard to be an American – of the 17 beliefs tested, I only hold one (a belief in evolution) and apparently that is a minority view in the US.
So why do people believe weird things? – see one explanation here.
And why don’t I believe so many things that so many other people hold so dear? – see my reasoning here.
