Fascinating trendlines on religion in America via USA Today. I'm intrigued by the finding that between 1990 and 2008, five of the top seven states experiencing the biggest increase those citing "no religion" are in the Northeast.  Is that a result of the region's increasingly liberal political orientation or fallout from the disastrous revelations of the Catholic church (4 of the top 6 states experiencing a decline in Catholics are in the Northeast as well). Most likely it's a combination of the two.
