One-quarter of Americans could be irreligious in 20 years

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.
