It seems like there's an article just about every day now on this topic. When I was young, preachers spoke fervently of the desperate need for revival in America, a cry that felt hollow and self-serving in the era of Reagan and the Moral Majority. But with statistics like this, those admonishments must be filling sanctuaries nearly every Sunday. Unfortunately for those preachers, there are fewer and fewer people listening.

"These changes are taking place across the religious landscape, affecting all regions of the country and many demographic groups. While the drop in Christian affiliation is particularly pronounced among young adults, it is occurring among Americans of all ages. The same trends are seen among whites, blacks and Latinos; among both college graduates and adults with only a high school education; and among women as well as men."
