Growing group is "not affliated."

It seems the church of the unaffiliated is growing significantly faster than the Mormon Church!

The number of Americans who do not identify with any religion continues to grow at a rapid pace. One-fifth of the U.S. public – and a third of adults under 30 – are religiously unaffiliated today, the highest percentages ever in Pew Research Center polling.

In the last five years alone, the unaffiliated have increased from just over 15% to just under 20% of all U.S. adults. Their ranks now include more than 13 million self-described atheists and agnostics (nearly 6% of the U.S. public), as well as nearly 33 million people who say they have no particular religious affiliation (14%).

Whoops. Didn't see a topic was already started on this. I hate when that happens.

From an AP article:

Researchers have been struggling for decades to find a definitive reason for the steady rise in those with no religion.

Gee, what a puzzler.

Those surveys are meaningless.

A better question might be how many attend church more than twice a month, showing some form of devotion to it. That number has been dismal for a long time.
