The percentages of Christians declined across every age bracket while unaffiliated increased across every age bracket.

Quote:If we take away the young people.   Then we can discuss any older people leaving.   But it's such a small amount.   But I will say the amount of divorce plays into lack of faith.   Families and religion are closely tied.

The number of Christians declined among the married and the unmarried.

Quote:Evangelicals and divorce. For a new study appearing later this month in the American Journal of Sociology, Demographers Jennifer Glass at the University of Texas and Philip Levchak at the University of Iowa looked at the entire map of the United States, going county by county, to examine where divorces occurred in 2000 and what the characteristics of those counties were. Their work confirms that one of the strongest factors predicting divorce rates (per 1000 married couples) is the concentration of conservative or evangelical Protestants in that county.

But by all means, feel free to keep making shit up.
