The Pew Research Center has released its yearly report on religion in the United States. That report shows that organized religion is still declining. In just the last seven years, the percentage of those unaffiliated with any organized religion has grown from 16.1% to 22.8% of the population -- and the number of unaffiliateds has grown from 36.6 million people to 55.8 million. That makes the "nones" the largest group in this country -- larger than any single religious group.
