Once every two years the Inductivist gets giddy with excitement when the new GSS comes out. As a first plunge into the new data, let's look at trends in confidence in the existence of God.
The shrinking purple section (if I were a girl, I'd know the precise name for that color) indicates that "knowing that God exists" has been on the decrease over the past decade. On the other hand, I wouldn't make any long-term predictions. Most of the experts sixty years ago predicted the imminent death of religion.

"Most of the experts sixty years ago predicted the imminent death of religion."
Those stubborn religionists responded/ignored the prediction by outbreeding the experts.
Thank you for this post, really worthwhile data.
