Can't spot an obvious date on these stats, although with Ireland at 84% in 2d place I suspect that it pre-dates the big, fuck-the-altar-boys scandal which has done a good job of emptying churches even there.
Routine Gallup surveys show 41-43% of Americans claiming to attend church services regularly but who knows if they really do and that is still a big gap from the 73% who claim they are "religious."
Again, a person's individual belief is not much of a problem. It's when the fuckers gather into churches and some slimebag preacher starts whipping them into a frenzy about who they should hate that they become troublesome.
