Brooks is right on today. He might want to read that survey he referenced. Here's the link if anyone is interested. gc.cuny.edu Here's one tidbit: "More than half (54%) of the adult population in America reside in a household where either they themselves or someone else belongs to a church, or temple, synagogue or mosque or some other type of place of worship." The converse, of course, is that nearly half of households have no church members. Another aspect of interest is age. The elderly consider themselves "religious" at a rate twenty percent higher than those under thirty. Maybe those young will get more religious as they get older. Or maybe the trend is toward the secular. <<According to the American Religious Identification Survey, the number of Americans with no religious affiliation has more than doubled since 1990. >> I don't know that that is the correct interpretation of the data. The number reporting no religious affiliation has doubled. That's not quite the same thing. My gut tells me that a some who were secular in 1990 were not yet out of the closet.
