America has been always a religious country. But a recent study finds that might be changing; The percent of the country who considers themselves atheists is rising rapidly. While they still make up a small minority in comparison to the major religions, the current trends indicate that we may not be one nation, under God, forever.
Heres a look at what we believe.

That image is really big.
ReplyDeletethink you can be a bit religious and say 'one nation under god' without being a religious nutcase extremist.
ReplyDeleteIts a good trend = )
ReplyDeleteIts what this country was built on.
ReplyDeleteOh, interesting. Although, I'm not sure how much that will change down here in the south, haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm not religious but reading this is adding something to me.
ReplyDeleteim a militant atheist
ReplyDeleteWhy is there a Muslim at a bar.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the blog :) I'm an agnostic theist, personally.
ReplyDeleteAtheist here.
ReplyDeleteThe Pictures goes right across the blog, I cant see anything... Atheist here
ReplyDeleteI believe the agnostic and unaffiliated categories are growing more than atheist, which points to the same trend, of course.
ReplyDeleteLove the bar reference in the picture lol
ReplyDeletefollowing all three of yours! please follow all three of mine!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to predict what will happen in the grand scheme of things. The Bible Belt takes up a good chunk of the US, but the youth of today aren't forced by parents to go to church like they did back in the 50's and 60's...
ReplyDeleteOmg! The picture is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm not religious either
ReplyDeleteThe picture is very large
I HATE RELIGION! following your though so follow mine
ReplyDeleteSoon more and more people will believe in science then they would god. I'm not really sure what to think about that.
ReplyDeleteCan you resize that image?
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long it will be before the non-religious groups become the scapegoat for the country's problems. I think we need to be a little bit bigger of a group first, though.
ReplyDeleteThank god for that! (haha)
