For the first time "No Religion" has topped a survey of Americans' religious identity. The non-religious edged out Catholics and evangelicals in the long-running General Social Survey. The survey found that 23.1% of Americans now claim no religion.

If no religion and not atheist you are likely a Pagan in denial.

There are 3 types of non religious people:
-The atheists, who believe with relative certainty that God does not exist.
-The agnostics, who just don't think that God exists.
-The unaffiliated, who believe God exists, but don't like him on usually moral grounds.
The CNN survey combined all those 3 into one group, "Not religious". This would be like combining the Catholics, Protestants, and Evangelicals into "Christians". Although I imagine non religious people will eventually outnumber religious people, right now, this is not the case.
I imagine your secular. Are you an atheist, agnostic, or unaffiliated?
Of course, that's how the human condition has evolved, exchanging ignorance for understanding, indoctrination for knowledge and stupidity for reason, all the things religion has plauged mankind for centuries.Although I imagine non religious people will eventually outnumber religious people, right now, this is not the case.

Yes, the poll lumps together all those who don't follow an organized religion. It has done so for 44-years Over that time, there has been a steady increase in "no religion", from 5% in 1972 to 23.1% in the latest poll. Organized religion is slowly losing its grip in the U.S.
You would probably consider me an agnostic, although I don't like the word. I consider myself an atheist, an atheist being someone who lacks belief in God.

I wonder what the breakdown is. In my experience about 1/3 agnostic deism, 1/3 agnostic atheism, and whatever the other people are.
The ABRAHAMIC GODS are a JOKE...used to incite FEAR - INTIMIDATION - VIOLENCE all 3 are human INVENTIONS and are WORTHLESS..

and Church brainwashing DOGMA....YOU are a slave to a Comic Book Story HOAX....as children are when they are exposed to Santa Claus...
and become convinced they must OBEY the RULES in order to receive the GIFTS they DESIRE...this FORMULA for HYPNOSIS PSYCHOSIS
to accept what is told to them as FACT...is eventually understood by the child as a CLEVER HOAX....to teach them how to OBEY and be rewarded
for doing so....it's a simple technique = OBEY or be PUNISHED and SUFFER....this is the foundation of the JEW - JESUS - ALLAH GOD garbage
This FORMULA of OBEY or be PUNISHED is used by the Middle East JEW - JESUS - ALLAH Parasite VAMPIRE preachers who act like a GOD and through clever MIND CONTROL STRATEGIES dumb down the children and adults to accept their asinine GOD - Bible / Koran / Torah Comic Book VOMIT as an absolute TRUTH....
Why then are 3 GODS needed ? 3 GODS remain from the thousands before them invented and worshipped in the middle East ?

You must live in a rough neighbourhood that makes you come out swinging every day at the three major religious groups Jews, Christians, Muslims.Which minority group do you belong to?
