Survey: Americans Dropping Christianity Like Hot Cakes

The Trinity College in Hartford, Conn has found through it's American Religious Identification Survey that Christianity is running out of fashion fast in America.The survey conducted three times since 1990 found that the number of Americans who claim to be Christian has fallen by 10% in twenty years:

"The percentage of Americans who call themselves Christians has dropped dramatically over the past two decades.......The survey of more than 54,000 people conducted between February and November of last year showed that the percentage of Americans identifying as Christians has dropped to 76 percent of the population, down from 86 percent in 1990....according to the American Religious Identification Survey.The survey is conducted by researchers at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., and funded by the Lilly Endowment and the Posen Foundation.......The survey substantiated several general trends already identified by sociologists: the slipping importance of denomination in America, the growing number of people who say they have "no" religion and the increase in religious minorities including Muslims, Mormons and such movements as Wicca and paganism."
