America Growing More Secular

The Freedom From Religion Foundation reports on CUNY’s American Religious Identification Survey which shows that America is growing more secular. 16% of American’s describe themselves as secular or somewhat secular. Christians are the biggest losers with a 8% drop.

I recently read an article which asserted Wicca was the fastest growing religion The numbers would suggest otherwise. It looks like Islam (in terms of total new people who self identified) is the winner. Unless they are interpreting the number as percent of growth, in which case Wicca win hands down.
