Ironic Timing

Politico reports the result of a new Gallup poll on the religious preferences of Americans. In the 7 years since Obama took office, the percentage of Americans claiming a Christian faith has dropped 5%, from 80% to 75%.

Correspondingly, the percentage of people claiming no faith has increased by 5%, from 14.6% to 19.6%,  The percentage claiming a non-Christian faith is stable at 5%.

COTTonLINE finds this bad news, coming during the "good news" season, particularly ironic for those who follow the cross. The U.S. seems to be following the same path other advanced countries are on, albeit not quite as far along.
