Wake up and smell the coffee. Not only is Christianity not the only religion practiced in America, but less people are practicing religion at all. Before you start whining and moaning about the terrible awfulness of it all, take a breath and consider WHY this is happening.
You have the Catholic Church revealed to be a bunch of child molesters and even Catholics have turned away from their church by the millions over this.
You have the Creationists making total asses of themselves by insisting that evolution isn't a fact, that everything came into being in a few days, and that no creature has changed over time in spite of not only the fossil record but the recent record.
You have that jackass minister who I hear died recently, finally, the one who behaved horribly at the funerals of soldiers.
You have people like Obama's tutor, Rev. White and his "God damn America", and the list just keeps going on. You have the Far Right acting like they own Christianity with their Right To Life crap and the atheists raising hell over creche displays at Christmas, and all the MSM and retail outlets saying "Happy Holidays" instead of Merry Christmas.
You think it's just one thing? It's a pile of things. I have God in my life though I don't subscribe to any organized religion, and it's the hypocrisy I found in all of them that turned me away.
You want to know why Americans are turning away from religion? It's because of all the discord among you, all the pushy proselytizing, the politicizing, the child molesting, the screaming.
I read what a lot of you so-called Christians have to say here and most of you leap to attack, viciously attack, anyone who disagrees with you. YOU are why Americans are turning away from Christianity as much as anything else.

Your very first sentence showed you to be the very hypocrite you go on to whine about.
