The Skepticisation of America

Three years ago a Harris poll asked a sampling of Americans if they were absolutely certain God exists. At that time, 34% were NOT sure there was a God. Last week the poll was repeated and the number of doubters had risen to 42%.

This seems to indicate continued societal creep toward the European model of Post-Christian, "rationalistic" decay.

Other interesting data bits. . .
Among denominational/religious groups, those professing certainty that God DOES exist broke out like this:

"Born Agains" 93%
Protestants 76%
Catholics 64%
Jews 30%
