U.S. Confidence in Organized Religion at Low Point
Catholics' confidence remains significantly lower than Protestants'
by Lydia Saad

PRINCETON, NJ -- Forty-four percent of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in "the church or organized religion" today, just below the low points Gallup has found in recent years, including 45% in 2002 and 46% in 2007. This follows a long-term decline in Americans' confidence in religion since the 1970s.

  The mainstream is falling into irrelevancy. As with politics, Americans are being drawn to the far-right extreme. And as with politics, that extreme may be a minority, but it's a NOISY minority.
