More Americans search for “church” around Easter than at any other time, with the Christmas season usually ranking second, according to Google Trends data.
Americans aren’t dying like they used to. They’re living longer, and more are dying of natural causes. In 2010, nearly one-third of all deaths (31%) came from people ages 85 and older – a big improvement from 1968, when the 85+ age cohort made up just 12.6% of all deaths.
