"Religiously unaffiliated" people outnumber those people who profess loyalty to a particular sect

So don't be surprised when certain group redouble efforts to imposed their stated religious standards on the rest of us.

Without bothering to actually, ya know, adhere to the standards they want others to follow.

From NPR

Christianity declines among U.S. adults while 'religiously unaffiliated' grows, study says

The portion of the U.S. population identifying as Christian has declined significantly over the last two decades, but a massive new Pew Research study finds that trend may be leveling off.

The study, which surveyed 37,000 Americans, found that 62% identify as Christian. By comparison, when Pew did a similar study in 2007, 78% said they were Christian.


Pew's main website is here.

Their report on the study is here.

From the study itself -















That's national.

The gap is even wider in Arizona.
















There seem to be an education-related pattern at work here.  Can you figure out what it is? (Hint: The more education someone has, the less likely they are to be an evangelical Christian.) -

Guessing that Michael Flynn's religion's messiah has a Cheeto-colored hue about him

From Taegan Goddard's Political Wire, dated 11/12/2021 -

Michael Flynn Says U.S. Should Have One Religion

Michael Flynn, former national security advisor for President Donald Trump, suggested that the United States should have just one religion.

Said Flynn: “If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion. One nation under God, and one religion under God.”

So...who wants to inform the pardoned fascist that his Imperious Leader may offer an opinion on who should be worshipped?


I'm actually OK with there being a single American religion...so long as that religion is Pastafarianism.
