Not identifying as christian is far from being a non believer.

That's just code for, "I don't go to church, but I still believe in god."

These people still read, quote and believe in the bible. Still believe in heaven and hell. Still believe in Jesus as god, and still think they have a soul.

I think there are more non believers. But maybe not as many as this would suggest.

Not rapidly enough!

I believe that what we are going through right now will cause many more to leave. A lot of what is happening in this country with the 'Christian' attempts at taking over the government is a sign of desperation.

As the sane people leave religion, all that is left is the insane ones.

Education along with scientific advancements are key. When we better understand our world around us, there’s no longer a need for belief in magic. Ignorance may be bliss, but I’ll take the burden of knowledge every day of the week over susceptibility to charlatans.

In European countries religion has been on the decline for some years now, especially in the Catholic counties such as Spain, Italy and Ireland...helped along by their own clerical child abuse scandals involving pedophile priests and especially in Ireland of the sadistic practices of nuns towards unmarried mothers and their babies in the Magdalen laundries. The more Protestant counties like U.K., Netherlands, Germany and Scandinavia all have low church attendance and general apathy towards religious belief.

I actually think that Trump may have been elected by the older generation, but his mishandling of so many important things will make all the younger generations eschew religion and be more inclined to vote (for a year or two, anyway).

Such good news this is.

It's particularly helpful if you include a link to your evidence so we can use it for comparative purposes.

Been watching our percentages grow, if by region, all my life. Once, religions fought each other, now, they’re fighting to stay relevant amid the better - and better educated youth around the world. The Internet is helping - especially places like this!

Given the trends of the polls over the past 20 years, Christianity in the US seems to be declining at about 1% per year. I imagine it will be a minority demographic well before 2040.

That is true in the U.S. but not in the world. Worldwide, religious participation us increasing.

It is my firm belief America will no longer be a country before the people living here are non-religious.
