Rising Ranks Of The "No Religion-ists"

From The Washington Post:
The percentage of Americans who call themselves Christians has dropped dramatically over the past two decades, and those who do are increasingly identifying themselves without traditional denomination labels, according to a major study of U.S. religion being released today.
Some detail:
The only group that grew in every U.S. state since the 2001 survey was people saying they had "no" religion; the survey says this group is now 15 percent of the population.
15% of 300 million is 45 million. 45 Million Americans claiming "no religion."

I wonder how the social conservatives will be spinning this.

    oh i'm sure it will be doom and gloom.

    i think a lot of people are sick of the "my god is better than your god" so i'll kill you for the glory of my god mindset.

    i know that i am.

    Facts don't matter to the neo-cons, so they'll ignore the study.
