I think it is probably the most popular view - perhaps thanks to the 'Omen' trilogy. At least - that's possibly the case in the UK
Perhaps because part of the film was based in England.
To be honest, I would say that we (the British) don't appear to be particularly intrigued by the Bible, Revelations - or perhaps anything overly and overtly religious. It's more of a quiet, personal thing over here. We don't have the weather for going to church
One of the few times I think some of my own friends/colleagues remarked on religion was when Tony Blair said something about God judging him for his part in Iraq. Now that did bother us - we really, really do not like religion and politics mixing together
