It's also interesting that while the numbers of atheists and agnostics HAVE increased, the vast majority of growth for the "Unaffiliated" category comes from those who are not affiliated with an organized faith but also are not atheists (presumably with a faith in some higher power but no religion).

As RINO Tom pointed out, though, let's not confuse "Unaffiliated" with being an atheist, or even an agnostic.

"Nothing in particular" could be a great many things, including a form of atheism and agnosticism.  I describe myself as 'apatheist', for example.

The increasing number of evangelicals number is bad excellent news. That's enough to still overinfluence the political system. I'd rather us more Catholics and Lutherans than those types.

20 million more religious unaffliated in 7 years is sadpretty remarkable, especially during poor economic times.

More evangelicals please. Not that I don't want more mainline and Roman Catholics cause I want more of those too. Third Great Awakening please. You won't believe what's happening amongst the Christians in Indiana. We're on the verge of winning a city. In one city, evangelism teams are being allowed into the largest employer of the community. You don't see that very often. Here's the amazing part of it. You've got folks like me (A/G) working along side Methodists, Amish, Lutherns, Catholics, Baptists, Messanic Jews, and more and God is opening hearts to hear and respond to the Gospel.

Don't do that to people's posts, please:


Hi,
This is important: the forum has the ability to quote other posts - and it allows one to edit the quotes. Editing the quote of another poster in any way that alters the content of the post to change its meaning or possible interpretation is unacceptable.  (edits should be limited only to removing sections of the post for purposes of highlighting a point of conversation).  Anything in the quote box must be verbatim from the actual post being quoted!!!

Posting a false quote is malicious and unacceptable.
Thanks,
Dave
