The shit is dying out.

As I said great that this shit is dying out, but its still a massive percentage Sad .....

Is there anything visible that shows the decline?

Any examples, it really shocks me when I look at how strong religion appears to be in the USA or at least to me an outsider.

Numbers aren't hard to find: http://www.pewforum.org/2015/05/12/ameri...landscape/

Basically, Christianity is declining pretty quickly, non-affiliated is growing slightly less quickly, and non-Christian is growing slightly.

EDIT: Looking at the breakdown for non-affiliated, it seems like the bulk of the growth is by apatheists, people who don't really give a shit, to the point of not identifying with agnosticism or atheism.
