Nice Comment
I saw this from Pew

Religious "nones" currently account for about 3-in-10 U.S. adults or 29%. That number is up to 10-percent in the last 10 years. Smith says those secularizing shifts show no signs of changing or slowing down.
"One thing about this trend is that it's very broad-based," says Smith. "Religious 'nones' are growing among men and women – they're growing among college graduates and those with less education. They're growing in every region of the country. As older Americans age and as they begin to pass away, they are being replaced by a new generation of young adults that's coming of age with far lower levels attachments of religion than their parents and grandparents before them. So that's a big key part of what's happening."
I have been following along from my email account but I should start commenting more.

Dominic Cummings has said he was present when Boris Johnson was told of security concerns about his plan to award a peerage to Evgeny Lebedev.
The ex-adviser said he was "in the room" when the PM was told intelligence officials had "serious reservations" about giving the honour to the Russian-born businessman.
It follows reports the security services changed their advice after Mr Johnson intervened.
The PM has previously denied this.
Lord Lebedev, who owns the Evening Standard newspaper, has denied posing a "security risk" to the UK.
Last week, the Sunday Times reported that in March 2020, the House of Lords Appointments Commission - which vets peerage appointments - advised Mr Johnson against granting Mr Lebedev a seat in the House of Lords on security grounds.
The newspaper said the assessment was withdrawn after Mr Johnson - a long-time friend of Lord Lebedev - personally intervened.
Boris Johnson was warned of Lebedev security concerns, says Cumming...
The Saudi exicutions have hardly merited a byline on the BBC website. See what oil money can do to buy off criticism.
Shocking, but somehow, not surprising.
