BOO!
Halloween’s over,
but debate is not
Now that you’ve put the skeletons and superhero costumes away... as Halloween grows from a minor event a generation ago to a certified major holiday today, many Americans are objecting.
Some 27% of people who attend religious services weekly object to the one-day event “on religious grounds,” according to a new Gallup Poll. About 1,000 adults were questioned just before the Oct. 31 celebration.
Nationwide, about 11% object for the same reasons. But that doesn’t keep people from participating in some way. Of those polled, 2-of-3 say they pass out treats and 1-in-6 attended a Halloween party.
