How Religious Are Americans, Really?

    A new study says Americans are becoming less Christian, and more secular.

    FOX News Radio’s Tonya J. Powers has the story.

    Seven in ten Americans say they’re Christians, but the study from the Pew Research Center says the number of those who don’t affiliate with any particular religion is growing.

    Between 2007 and 2014, Pew did two major surveys of U.S. religious life.

    Americans who described themselves as atheist, agnostic or of no particular faith grew from 16 percent to 23 percent, while Christians dropped seven points to 71 percent.

    The survey of 35,000 people also found an increase in non-Christian faiths – including Muslims and Hindus… Each making up less than one percent of the country’s population.

    The number of Jews rose slightly to 1.9 percent of Americans.
