“More than a quarter of American adults have left the faith of their childhood in favor of another religion–or no religion at all. If change in affiliation from one type of Protestantism to another is included, roughly 44 percent of American adults have either switched religions affiliation, moved from being unaffiliated with any relgion to be affiliated with a particular faith, or dropped any connection to a specific religious tradition altogether, according to a just-published survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.”
