Y2K TURNING AMERICANS INTO RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (Wireless Flash) -- For some people, "Y2K" is turning out to be "Y2-Pray." According to a survey by the Lutheran Brotherhood, 36 percent of Americans say the upcoming new millennium is influencing them to pray more than in the past. In addition, 29 percent plan on telling others about their spiritual beliefs and 25 percent plan on attending religious services more frequently before 2000. Interestingly, 34 percent of Gen X'ers predict the new millennium will be meaningful from a religious standpoint compared to only 23 percent of senior citizens.
