      America is an increasingly secularizing society but the religious right has really built a stranglehold of power in the commanding heights of the courts and one of the 2 major parties. Tensions on this are bound to increase.https://twitter.com/EoinHiggins_/status/1376679846961635328 …

      what's striking here is that is almost no change from 1940 to 2000 and then a very sharp falloff. That's not what I would have expected. What happened in 2000 to cause people to turn away from god?

      Well with Bush Jr. you have GOP that was now firmly aligned with religious right (Reagan & Bush Sr. kept a little more distance). Religion became polarizing so people with lighter beliefs dropped away.

          You also have the first millennials becoming adults. Surely some people lose faith. But isnt it more likely that the replacement americans were raised in a context that less successfully inspired faith?

          Yep! Karl Rove went and hung Republicans around the religious neck and vice verse. I still maintain he was the first to raise the flag as “theirs”

          Maybe. Could also be the deaths of nearly everyone born before the Boomers. Spirituality began to be more important than membership in a congregation over the past 50 years, except among Protestants, a declining group
