“Prior to 1990, virtually no Americans identified in public opinion surveys as non-religious. By the time we get to the year 2000, you’re talking about 14% to 15% of the population. That is a huge change.” religionnews.com/2021/03/12/all…
“30 years ago, about 1 in 20 Americans had no religious affiliation. Now, it’s roughly 1 in 4.” religionnews.com/2021/03/12/all…
In experiments, subjects read ”news stories about mixing religion with politics.” There were no effects for Republicans but ”Democrats showed a clear aversion. When surveyed the second time, their rate of religious affiliation had dropped by 13 points.” religionnews.com/2021/03/12/all…
For Democrats, “this is a brewing storm. Secular activists are a large number of grassroots volunteers. Black and Latino voters are often highly religious. Can the party hold together, given religious & secular voters often have very different priorities?” religionnews.com/2021/03/12/all…
