Is Religion Going Extinct In America And How Do You Feel?


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.http://religions.pewforum.org/reportshttp://newsfeed.time.com/2011/03/23/stud…

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!
