Survey: USA's Protestant majority might soon be no more (USATODAY.com)

Big news indeed - but not in the headline. The good stuff is buried in the article: note the growth of the "non-religious". Compared to 50 (or even 20) years ago, that's a huge number.

Another interesting thing about this survey is that it includes Mormons as Protestants. If it didn't, and it probably shouldn't, we'd be 50-50.

As the signs that pop up around here every year remind us: Road Construction Ahead.

USATODAY.com - New statistics on religious diversity show the USA's historic Protestant majority has plummeted to 52%, and by the end of 2004 it may no longer be the nation's dominant religious group.
