Survey sees a drift away from religion in America

After a survey taken by American Religious Self-identification surveys ( ARIS ). It is shown that americans as a whole are drifting from religion. With christianity being the major religious category in the U.S today it is taking the biggest hit. many americans are no falling in to the " none" category of religion. which doesnt nessesaly mean they are atheist or agnostic it just means that they do not identify with any religious group or organization. i think that this survey is really just pointing out the obvious. its no secret that americans every where are not as religious as they used to be. its just not a big part of modern life. Which differs drastically from a decade or two ago. religion is playing second fiddle to many other things in todays society. with all the technology and experts we have in the field of theology and reason, people just dont see religion as anymore than a Santa clause or easter bunny. which is sad but the truth in a lot of families in America. religious beliefs are still out there and a big part of some peoples lifes though. and if america is to be a heavely religious country again it is up to those people to make it so.
