Is America Becoming Non-Religion Bound?


    The percentage of Americans who have a religion in the United States now is 76%; 18 years ago it was 86%. Studies from Trinity College in Hartford, Conn. have shown religion has dropped among Christians. 1 out of 5 U.S. adults chose not to identify themselves as religious. 

No religion is on the rise and also has shown citizens have been making Denominational drops. This would be going from one end of Christianity to another. Age and gender differences has also been proven to show a certain drop from female to male and old to young. Overall, this is showing how Americans are losing any thought into having a religion.

Is this because Americans are lazy? Is this because Americans don't have time? Americans I believe haven't been brought up like their parents. The older generations don't have trouble in deciding if their religious or not. They also don't have to identify and chose whether or not work or play is more important then church. Is religion soon going to end? I won't be giving it up anytime soon.
