The study is also on the CNN website. It's a major study, so it's not going to be swept under the rug, fortunately.
In addition to there being more nonbelievers, there are less Christians:
So from 86% to 75% in eight years. Interesting trend.
Hey, didn't I prophesy this at a meeting a couple of months ago?

See here.Three out of four Americans call themselves Christian, according to the American Religious Identification Survey from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. In 1990, the figure was closer to nine out of 10 -- 86 percent.
