In 35 years time -- time enough for several presidents, more than a few changes in the control of Congress, and a few dozen new seasons of "House of Cards" -- America will look different.
Not entirely different of course, but, as we've noted in the past, its demographics will have shifted enough to be noticeable. And with the release of new projections from Pew Research tracking how religious beliefs are expected to evolve, we now have a fuller picture of how America will have changed by the time today's toddlers are stalking Capitol Hill. Even if we don't necessarily know what it will mean for American politics.
Let's start with the shift in America's religious attitudes, according to Pew. In brief summary, more Americans will identify as being "unaffiliated" with any organized religion. This doesn't necessarily mean that they will be atheistic or agnostic; it simply includes the wide body of people who don't categorize their belief systems into an existing religious practice. People who are spiritual in a broad sense are included, but Wiccans, for example, aren't.

Let’s look at predictions from 35 years ago. How did they turn out?
These projections always make the mistake of believing trends will never change. Nothing stays static.
Better learn Spanish. This will be a different country in 2050 after 25 years of solid Dem rule. Welcome to Mexamerica.
These sons of bitches have it all planned out.
So the Great Experiment will be over, submerged in a sea of Angry Orks with no history in this country, only their permanent resentment and inchoate rage.
Great future for the American children. Good Job, Baby Boomers...you lost the country.
Great future for the American children. Good Job, Baby Boomers...you lost the country.
That’s what happens when you are a dope, smoking baby boomer who is for free love, whatever feels good and equality for all. You really eff things up for others.
I’ll be very glad when all the boomer bastards of this ilk are dead. I hated hippies when I went to college with them and I hate them now. Faggots. We beat the hell out of them whenever they wandered into our sector.
This is what happens when the Kenyan allows Mexico, Central and South America to export their poverty and crime to America. “Let the Americans deal with that chit!”
The central problem with that graph is this....
Mexicans aren’t “immigrants”. They’re just Mexicans, expanding their territory by invading the country next door.
They weren’t invited, they have no intention of assimilation or adoption of the new country’s social and political system, they plan to impose their own by violence and intimidation.
In anyone’s book that’s Invasion.
And 'benefits'.
Don't forget the benefits.
Most of the Mexicans here are here legally.
At least you have a sense of humor.
No, they're not.
The well established number is that 50% of them are either illegals or the descendants of illegals.
Treating the children of illegals as Americans has no basis in law and has never been adjudicated, because they were terrified of what would happen.
If the Obama court stays in power that might change. But there is no credible world where illegal aliens decide who the citizenry of the United States will be simply by squatting a kid on U.S. soil ten minutes after stepping across the line.
And those who came legally, they're "immigrants", they are "the Americans"? Really?
Here's a simple test of who they are: Declare War on Mexico tomorrow morning. Then declare a Draft to fight the war.
Let me know which side they all end up on.
Not going to happen. Once the Hispanics gain stature they will slow down breeding considerably, and rapidly.
That’s the way it is. That’s the way it was. That’s the way it will always be.
I hope you are right. I also hope that, like the Latino friends I have, they will be mostly conservatives.
