There was a time as recently as the early 90s when two-thirds of the US called themselves Protestant. I don't believe the downshift in numbers is a true count because more people are now able to put 'none' on forms. Jut as there are more people who can call themselves mixed or bi-racial when there was never a place to put that down before the last few years.
Negative judgements would have been handed down as they are today if running for elective office in Washington. No c would dare put Atheist or 'none' for religion for either party in today's world. I would hope soon people will respect our constitution and leave religion out of our politics and government.
