'Nones' Now as Big as Evangelicals & Catholics in the US

Take particular notice of the chart shown in the article (I've embedded it here also) and how steep the incline has been over the last 25 years or so. And the same with the Mainline religious on the decline. Now, of course that doesn't mean the "Nones" identify as atheist. The article mentions that it was only 22% or so of the Nones that are actual atheists, but it's still encouraging. I see this as an increase in the desire for secular rationality.

It's not necessarily good news for you, Surt. It more than likely will cause a shift to more 'liberal' votes. **sarcastic shocked & horrified emoji**

Good reason for not being afraid of self-labeling as an "atheist"...

This is good news, right?

Also, this is largely due to the internet and social media, IMO.

Yes, absolutely.

But very few of the 'Nones' admit to being "atheist," just no affiliation with a particular religion.

'Left-wing' votes

Left-wing=/=right wing

You can be a right-wing liberal in the classical John Locke sense (such as myself), you can be an illiberal right-winger, you can be a left-wing liberal ie. a social liberal who actually believes in capitalism with a safetynet and social liberty, or you can be an illiberal left-winger who doesn't believe in capitalism and/or doesn't believe in social liberties like freedom of speech.

Oh good, so Christians as a whole still outnumber everyone else by a significant margin.

I wonder where I'd fall in that chart as a non-denominational Christian?

Yeah what makes it worse IIRC, America has the second largest Jew population aside from Israel

Probably mainline because you're not Catholic or evangelical, right?

IIRC you're something of a deist right? I think I remember having a short convo with you about it.

Not really sure how mainline a universal reconciliationist can be.

Edit: though apparently it used to be more mainline in the early days of the Church. Apparently there were six schools of thought in the early church relating to what happens after death, four of them were universal reconciliationist, one was the traditional heaven and hell, and one was anihilationist (those who **** up just stop existing rather than being tortured for eternity)
