ANOTHER SIGN OF SECULAR HUMANISM’S FAILURE? America is rapidly becoming more secular as scientific enlightenment and progressive education dispel religious ignorance from the past, right? Wrong.

The numbers just don’t add up to anything remotely like an emerging godless paradise on Earth, according to two accomplished data jockeys, Rodney Stark and Glenn Stanton.

They dug deeply into multiple data sources, including the General Social Survey, Gallup World Poll and Pew Research Center, and found America is becoming more, not less, religious. Ditto for most of the rest of the world where Christianity is growing extremely quickly, Hinduism and Islam less so but still increasing, while Buddhism is declining.
