"US religious identity is rapidly changing"
"by Michael Paulson, Globe Staff | February 26, 2008
The United States, founded by dissident Protestants seeking religious freedom, is on the verge of becoming a nation in which Protestants are a minority.
A growing fraction of Americans identify themselves as unaffiliated with any religious tradition, and a small but increasingly significant number say they are Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or Orthodox Christian. And a flood of overwhelmingly Catholic immigrants, mostly from Latin America, is helping to offset a high dropout rate among US-born Catholics
These are among the key findings of a groundbreaking study of the American religious landscape released yesterday by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. The study, which is the most comprehensive such examination of the country in at least a half century, finds that the United States is in the midst of a period of unprecedented religious fluidity, in which 44 percent of American adults have left the denomination of their childhood for another denomination, another faith, or no faith at all....
The study is based on a survey of 35,000 Americans age 18 and over, a very large number for survey research, and the size of the pool allowed the researchers to get more detail about minority religious groups than is usually available from smaller studies....
The average age of mainline Protestants and Jews is also higher than for other faith groups, a poor indicator for the future.... Jews are the highest-income group in America....
Good.
The last thing the world needs is more NaZionist assholes.
It also means the pro-Zionist brainwashing is backfiring.
And that last sentence is self-explanatory, readers -- especially in light of the chart that says Jews are only 1.7% of the population.
How does such a sliver of a minority (not all Jews are NaZionist Jews -- in fact, few are) gain such control over a society, readers?
No wonder I feel like a fish out of water around here; the state voted for Hillary Clinton for God's sake!
In general, the study confirms, the Northeast remains the most Catholic region, the South the most evangelical, and the West the most unaffiliated."
Go west, young man, go west!!!!
It is too late for me, son.
