Survey:"No Religion" Americans Top Any Rel.; More Non-Rel. in US Than Cath., Evangelicals

For the first time, "No Religion" has topped a survey of American religious identity, the CNN website reports today (April 13, 2019).

The non-religious edged out Catholics and evangelicals in the long-running General Social Survey.

Ryan Burge, a political scientist at Eastern Illinois University and a Baptist pastor, found that 23.1% of Americans now claim no religion.

Catholics came in at 23.0%, while evangelicals were at 22.5%.  Over 2,000 people were interviewed in person for the survey.
