It's actually 23%. I wonder when religion won't be a "requirement" for US politics anymore. Probably not for at least another 20 years. I also wonder how many US politicians are closet atheists.

It's interesting. I'm super devoted to my religion... And I get nauseous when people bring religion into politics... Maybe even angry.

I'd rather have an atheist in office who is competent at his/her job than a devout (fill in the blank) who happens to be popular with some sub group.

Ugh.

He might have misread this part:

    Between just 2007 and 2014, the adult population of "nones" skyrocketed by 52 percent, to nearly 56 million.
