Strong decline of religion in the US over the past 7 years

[Yorktown]

Full report here: http://www.pewforum.org/2015/05/12/americas-changing-religious-landscape/

Amazingly, the percentage of religious people appears to have dropped by one percent point each year

Going from 83% in 2007 to 76.5% in 2014

Reciprocally, the number of unaffiliated rises from 16% to nearly 23% (almost one quarter of the population)



Even more remarkable, the fastest growth groups are atheists and agnostics.

Atheists neatly double from 1.6 to 3.1%. Agnostics almost double from 2.4 to a round 4%.
