A new study by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) shows that religion in the United States is undergoing some dramatic changes.

In a nutshell, the nation is becoming more diverse, and it’s happening rapidly. White Christians, who accounted for 81 percent of the population in 1976, now make up just 43 percent. Mainline Protestant denominations have been losing members for years, and now evangelical churches have been hit with the same trend. In addition, the number of Americans who say their religion is “none” now account for 24 percent of the population.

Daniel Cox, PRRI’s director of research, noted that older Americans tend to reflect the historic faith patterns in America, but Americans under 30 are much different: They've grown up with a much more diverse crowd, including non-Christians and religiously unaffiliated people.

BTW...Pharaoh Amenhotep IX was the first to broach the idea of there being only one God. Academics say that this is where the Jews got their idea of monotheism. Shortly after Amenhotep's death the Egyptians regressed and started having a God for everything (polytheism.)

BTW...Why would anyone revere Moses? It takes 9 hours and 30 minutes to ride from Cairo to Jerusalem. Moses wandered in the desert for 40 years. Too bad GPS wasn't invented yet.

I'm a None-er.

PS.....The magical "40" number appears way too often to be considered seriously. It was just the number used when they were trying to say "a whole fucking long time". Sorta like we use "thousands" now. Average life expectancy was only 40ish years, so it basically was referring to "a lifetime", which when you're young, it seems like forever. When you're old, not so much.

It's about how people in America are waking up in droves to the foolishness of religion, dummy.
Your reading comprehension is atrocious. :lol:

But don't worry, Tool, there's hope for you as well. If you try real hard you too will wake up to its foolishness someday.
