The Resistance: Stand Up and Be Counted

That big purple slice at the top left? The one that's 24 percent of Americans? The biggest single group?  That's "Unaffiliated." 

Now some "Unaffiliated" are religious people who don't belong to a church, and some are agnostics who won't take that last step into reason and reality.  But most are atheists.  And we outnumber the freakazoids.

Come out of the closet, friends.  Stand up and be counted, and none of us will have to hide.

Public Religion Research Institute documents “Americans Changing Religious Identity.”

The American religious landscape is undergoing a dramatic transformation. White Christians, once the dominant religious group in the U.S., now account for fewer than half of all adults living in the country. Today, fewer than half of all states are majority white Christian. As recently as 2007, 39 states had majority white Christian populations.
