A wide-ranging study on American religious life found that the Roman Catholic population has been shifting out of the Northeast to the Southwest, the percentage of Christians in the nation has declined and more people say they have no religion at all.
Fifteen percent of respondents said they had no religion, an increase from 14.2 percent in 2001 and 8.2 percent in 1990, according to the American Religious Identification Survey.
Our plan is working! Bwahahaha!
Gallup asks Americans: Would you vote for an atheist ?
-
February 1999: 52%
August 1987: 52%
April 1983: 49%
July 1978: 47%
December 1959: 26%
September 1958: 23%
August 1958: 25%
Progress!
However...
A March, 2007 survey done by Newsweek shows that 62% of people would refuse to vote for any candidate admitting to being an atheist. Republicans were, predictably, the most bigoted at 78%, followed by Democrats at 60% and independents at 45%.
Or maybe not.
