IN the NEWS - 50% of Atheists Turn to Religion?

"A survey showing a sharp decline in the number of Christians in the United States also reveals a
surprising opposite trend: nearly half of everyone raised with no religion has since become religious.

The Daily Beast notes the Pew Research Center study finds that "9 percent of American adults say they were raised with no religious affiliation, and almost half of them [4.3 percent of all U.S. adults] now identify with some religion."

The reasons vary, but the biggest factor may be marriage, the Daily Beast reports.

Pitzer College professor Phil Zuckerman, however, told the Daily Beast ...  "the vast majority of people who switch religions, it's because of a girlfriend or boyfriend or husband or wife."
