The Godless Are Growing

USA Today had an interesting article today about the slow shift in religious demographics in this country. The Protestant majority is nearly a thing of the past. Not only has new non-Protestant immigration started to swing things, but the number of people who claim "no religion" grew to 14% in 2002 (from 9% in 1992). I'm not sure, however, if that group includes only the atheists, agnostics, and secular humanists or if it includes those folks who are vaguely "spiritual" but don't subscribe to any particular creed.
