"Islam is a religion of hatred." You're thinking of Christianity. The good news is that the US has figured it out. From Mike Allen, this morning. ---------------------------- DATA DU JOUR - "Big Drop in Share of Americans Calling Themselves Christian," by The Upshot's Nate Cohn: "The Christian share of adults in the United States has declined sharply since 2007, ... according to an extensive survey by the Pew Research Center. Seventy-one percent of American adults were Christian in 2014, the lowest estimate from any sizable survey to date, and a decline of 5 million adults and 7 percentage points since a similar Pew survey in 2007. ... The decline has been propelled in part by generational change, as relatively non-Christian millennials ... gradually replace the oldest and most Christian adults. But it is also because many former Christians, of all ages, have joined the rapidly growing ranks of the religiously unaffiliated or 'nones.' ... "The changing religious composition of America has widespread political and cultural ramifications. Conservatives and Republicans ... have traditionally relied on big margins among white Christians to compensate for substantial deficits among nonwhite and secular voters." nyti.ms --See the Pew study, "Christians Decline Sharply as Share of Population; Unaffiliated and Other Faiths Continue to Grow": "Growth has been especially great among Muslims and Hindus, albeit from a very low base." pewrsr.ch --THE NUMBERS: Christian 70.6%: Protestant 46.5% (Evangelical 25.4%, Mainline 14.7%, Historically black 6.5%), Catholic 20.8%, Orthodox Christian 0.5%, Mormon 1.6%, Jehovah's Witness 0.8%, Other Christian 0.4% ... Non-Christian faiths 5.9%: Jewish 1.9%, Muslim 0.9%, Buddhist 0.7%, Hindu 0.7% ... Unaffiliated 22.8%: Atheist 3.1%, Agnostic 4.0%, Nothing in particular 15.8%.
