The Good News


The percentage of adults (ages 18 and older) who describe themselves as Christians has dropped by nearly eight percentage points in just seven years, from 78.4% in an equally massive Pew Research survey in 2007 to 70.6% in 2014. Over the same period, the percentage of Americans who are religiously unaffiliated – describing themselves as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular” – has jumped more than six points, from 16.1% to 22.8%.  Link
The sooner we get rid of this superstitious nonsense the better. It would be fine if Christians would just keep their beliefs to themselves, but when they legislate their superstition ( via abortion, prayer, creationism, abstinence, guns, marriage) to affect the rest of us, then the sooner the religion is extinct, the better off we'll be.
