Assuming the trend this survey sees holds true, the right of freedom FROM religion as part of the First Amendment will surely be the next civil rights frontier after gay rights. And, I surely hope so.
And, the growth is not just among elitist Ph.D. whites. Rates of agnosticism and atheism are growing strongly among people with no more than a high school education and among minorities.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
