I don’t think America is becoming more religious. As a college student who knows many people across this country at institutions of higher education, most of them don’t believe in a god. As these younger generations grow up and make it into political office, religion will decline in civilized areas even more. I guarantee I’ll see the first president of this country who puts agnostic (or hopefully atheist) as their religious belief rather than Christian.
According to a 2007 Pew poll, the number of “non-affiliated” Americans was 16.1%, up from 8% just one decade before. This number is nearly 25% in the under 25 age group. And 55% of those who self-identify as “atheists” are under 35. So yes, the trend is that America is getting less religious and more and more young people in particular are turning away from religion.

Christians are going to claim polls are wrong but this is the truth. I am part of that youth and many of us do not believe! Get over it!

Since the bible is a fictional book, I have to say it really does has good things to say, but it has allot bad things that make me feel so proud to be an atheist. The Islam’s hell is more civilize than this do you seriously think I or someone else who is a atheist or affiliated with another religion deserve something so barbaric?

I believe in God – He is incorporeal, and supreme – there is no trinity, or whatever. I believe that you don’t have to believe in Him to get to an afterlife – all that matters is HOW you conduct yourself in this life. I believe that he LOVES everyone – regardless if you’re an atheist, Muslim, Christian, homosexual or not, or whatever.
However, I don’t believe in Jesus. I see him as a historical figure, and that’s all it is for me.
What are my beliefs called? I’m kind of sick of having to tell people my religious beliefs “I believe in God but I’m not affiliated with a religion or a faith.” It’s a bit of a hassle.
