In 2011, what will the breakdown of American religious identification look like?
For reference, here is what it looked like in 2001:

My personal prediction is that the 'no religion' set will rise to between one in five and one in four.

1. If hospital registration, the number of people claiming "none"
for religious identification is already pretty high.

But yes, as people get sicker and sicker of bullying by fundies the number will go up.

2. I don't think that necessarily follows
People might get frusterated with a religion (like the fundies) but if they still felt a religious impulse, a religious need, well they would probably gravitate to another church.
