[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As for the increase in non-Christian faiths, I would be interested to see a breakdown between immigrants, and people raised in a particular religion, vs identification as an adult.

I have no doubt that there is an increase in American-born/raised Muslims, who have left the faith as an adult (especially on some level of "moderately practicing"). Muslims are increasing in the US, primarily due to immigration and conversion.

I'm DCUM's resident raised Muslim, adult atheist - but have no doubt that there are TONS more like myself. [b]Many also just wouldn't admit it publicly, due to the greater community stigma[/b] that's less so in American Christian and Jewish communities. [/quote]

That stigma won't change unless people like you, as a group, publically wear it proudly on your sleeves.

And by keeping quiet, it does the muslim community in the US a disservice because the crazies are the ones that get all the publicity.

In fact, I would suggest that muslim-athiests in the US should hold a 'draw mohammed' contest to show how they are standing up to the community[/quote]
