Religion and Public Life

From the Pew Research Center:

The Christian share of the U.S. population is declining, while the number of U.S. adults who do not identify with any organized religion is growing, according to an extensive new survey by the Pew Research Center.

Moreover, these changes are taking place across the religious landscape, affecting all regions of the country and many demographic groups. While the drop in Christian affiliation is particularly pronounced among young adults, it is occurring among Americans of all ages. The same trends are seen among whites, blacks and Latinos; among both college graduates and adults with only a high school education; and among women as well as men.


I'm just throwing the information out there.  It's simply interesting if nothing else.

Re: Religion and Public Life

Consistent with other studies I have seen.
The US seems to be going in the direction that western Europe did a generation ago.

It may explain the stridence of the political christian movement.


We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
