    Default Protestants decline, more have no religion in a sharply shifting religious landscape

    No surprise , Sunday mornings are becoming just any other day of the week in most parts of the country, shopping recreation, etc.


    The nation’s religious makeup has shifted dramatically in the past 15 years, with a sharp drop in the number of Americans who say they’re members of a Protestant denomination – still the nation’s most prevalent religious group – and a rise in the number who profess no religion.

    On average last year, 36 percent of Americans in ABC News/Washington Post polls identified themselves as members of a Protestant faith, extending a gradual trend down from 50 percent in 2003. That includes an 8-point drop in the number of evangelical white Protestants, an important political group

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    Less white evangelicals, more unbelievers in US

    Polls show that over the past 15 years, the proportion of white evangelicals in the United States has steadily been on the decline, while the non-religious sector of the population continues to soar.

    Those With No Religion Now Outnumber Protestants Among Millennials

    Fifteen years ago the share of Protestants among the 18-29 group was 34 percent versus 19 percent who had no religion. Today it’s 22/35. The decline in Protestants within the group isn’t purely a function of younger Americans being less religious, though. Young adults are more diverse racially and ethnically so they’re also more likely to include Americans who don’t practice Christianity at all.

    America's shrinking percentage of white Christians isn't a sudden occurrence

    Religion is such a big fraud.

    Tax it and tax it bigly.

    They are not separated from State. They stick their holy ghost nose's where it doesn't belong.

    Tax the shit out of these thirsty preachers.
