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!

So, I have a 5 year old, so have been thinking about his education. My husband and I are trying to decide between private school or state (public) school.
I have two brothers ,and my husband has three sisters, and all of our nieces and nephews are school-age. While we love them all the same and think they are all great kids, there is no question that the ones that attend private school are more well-rounded ( proficient in French, Latin, an instrument, and several sports) and seem more mature. I don’t think that they are any smarter or have better parents than the other kids, so the schooling must be what sets them apart. The only thing stopping us is the cost (astronomical!). Another problem is that ALL the good private schools we have found are religiously affiliated, and as my husband and I are atheists and do not promote belief in god, I don’t know if this would be confusing for him. If it is hardly mentioned, that’s fine, I just do not know how heavy-handed they are at those places. Opinions?
