Survey sees a drift away from religion in America

Christainity is slipping from America and America to slipping to "no faith." A survey taken by the American Religious Self-Identification said that one in every five American adults chose not to identify a religious identity and 15% chose "no religion." The "no religion" group has gained 20 million adults since 1990 and is the only group to have grown in every state, though at a much slower pace in recent years than in the 1990s. However, only ten percent of that group claims atheism and agonstism.

The Denominational group increased during this 18 year period that the survey was taken. They increased from less than 200,000 in 1990 to more than 8 million today.

The survey also found that a little less than 70% believe in a personal God, and 12% believes in a higher power but no personal God. This leave 2.3% that says there is no God, and 10% that does not know what they believe in.

This survey interviewed 54,461 adults in either English or Spanish which gives this a margin of error of less than 0.5 percent.

Reading this article saddens me because I believe in God and I know that He is the one who created this earth and He is the one who sent his son to die for everyone ever created so that one day we could all spend eternal life in heaven. I am a strongly believer in my faith and I think that this is just a survey that CAN be changed.
