This month’s issue of GOOD magazine has a transparency on the recent rise of atheism. According to at least one study, those reporting no religion nearly doubled from 8.2% in 1990 to 15% in 2008!
America has always been 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 minority in comparison to the major religions, the current trends indicate that we may not be one nation, under God, forever.
Yes and those who deny the existence of God has rocketed all the way up to 1.6%. Hey! That’s exactly that same percentage as the last survey. Maybe Americans aren’t so dumb after all.
Makarios,
You imply that atheists are dumb, when all studies I have read indicate that atheists are among the smartest, best educated, and wealthiest people in the country. May I ask where you get your misinformation? From your invisible friend in the sky perhaps?
