I wonder how they came up with those figures. I'm not all that surprised at the growth, I guess.

I only know a few of that 27,539,000, though.

I went and looked at that chart. Interestingly enough, the non-religious are the second largest group in the US, after Christians. I did not know that. Their projections into 2004 make the non-religious 13.8% of the US population.

That's a significant minority, I'd say.
