In reply to the discussion: Americans Reject Religion in Record Numbers, Study Shows [View all]MayReasonRule
(4,011 posts)30. Here's To The Ongoing Restoration Of Our Freedoms Through Our Nation's Dissaption Of Delusion And Embrace Of Reason
Our freedoms are Reason's children.
When delusion rules as it does now, our freedoms cease to exist in application.
Our nation's long and sordid history of enshrining malevolent delusion as the rule of law has brought us to today, an Americanized Spanish Inquisition Y'all Qaeda Nazi style.

It doesn't mean what people think it does. They aren't turning atheist or agnostic in any great numbers, though.

What I don't like is they don't say how many are actually atheist or agnostic
