What has already happened in Europe is slowly seeping into our culture:
A wide-ranging study on American religious life found that the Roman Catholic population has been shifting out of the Northeast to the Southwest, the percentage of Christians in the nation has declined and more people say they have no religion at all.
Fifteen percent of respondents said they had no religion, an increase from 14.2 percent in 2001 and 8.2 percent in 1990, according to the American Religious Identification Survey.
USA Today has an interactive graph that breaks down the survey results by state and year.
Hopefully, this trend won't cause more of these kinds of incidents.
