Angels & Psychics

Most Americans Believe in Guardian Angels

In a recent poll of Americans and whether they believe in guardian angels, the Baylor University Institute for Studies of Religion revealed that most of the 1700 respondents (55%) said they agree with the statement, “I was protected from harm by a guardian angel.” This should come as no surprise to those who believe in psychics.

In a recent article from Time Magazine online, the authors noted that:

The guardian angel encounter figures were “the big shocker” in the report, says Christopher Bader, director of the Baylor survey that covered a range of religious issues, parts of which are being released Thursday in a book titled What Americans Really Believe. In the case of angels, however, the question is a little stronger than just belief. Says Bader, “If you ask whether people believe in guardian angels, a lot of people will say, ’sure.’ But this is different. It’s experiential. It means that lots of Americans are having these lived supernatural experiences.”

For psychic believers, belief in guardian angels seems like a natural extension of the world of psychic energy. Some people use “Angel cards” which are assumed to reveal communications from angels or the psychic energy in angels. It seems to make sense then that most American’s would believe in guardian angels, as the church, especially the Catholic church, teaches that guardian angels, and angels in general, are real. Today the church teaches that angels are only messengers of God, and are not supposed to be worshiped or prayed to. Regardless of the real nature of angels, this may be one reason why so many people throughout the world believe in guardian angels, and psychics.
