POLL: More Americans identify with no religion that ever before

Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Luke 18:8
 
"More Americans identify with no religion than ever before, according to a new study on religious affiliation.
But three states did see an increase in evangelical growth: Alaska, South Dakota, and Wyoming. And while Catholics saw the greatest decline across the states, they grew in the nation's capital.
Protestants made up the largest share with 39%,
followed by "none" at 20%,
Catholics at 18%, and
"other faiths" -- Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and other religions -- comprising 8%.
Atheists and agnostics, both at 6%,
are followed by Jews at 2%
and Mormons with 1%.
Those who identify with no relgion - known as "nones" - grew the largest in Hawaii, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Rhode Island from 2008 to 2018.
Burge said most religious groups remained stable but the "nones" had a noticeable change upward."
