This is terrible news. Look at what happened to Europe when they walked away from the church....the void was filled by Islam.
So, the study says 6% of Americans are atheists or Agnostic. I think an increasing number of Christians are non-denominational or independent.
It is a mistake to lump these people in with the 6% cited in the article. It’s possible to be irreligious and still be Christian. I am one of those. :)
