(Pew) Christian-identifying Democrats drop by 1/3
The U.S. religious landscape has undergone profound changes in recent years, with the share of Christians in the population continuing to decline.
These shifts are reflected in the composition of the partisan coalitions. Today, Christians make up about half of Democratic voters (52%); in 2008, about three-quarters of Democrats (73%) were Christians. The share of Democratic voters who are religiously unaffiliated has approximately doubled over this period (from 18% to 38%).
The changes among Republicans have been far more modest: Christians constitute 79% of Republican voters, down from 87% in 2008. (Data on religious affiliation dates to 2008; prior to that, Pew Research Center asked a different question about religious affiliation that is not directly comparable to its current measure.)

A concerted effort by atheist groups to use the internet to let other closeted atheists know they're not alone and to provide fellowship, which encourages them to come out more. Combine that with people seeing the religious right for what they are, especially for younger people who have their LGBTQ friends attacked by them, and it's no wonder that Nones are now the same percentage of the population as Evangelicals and Christians. And I get there are objections that the religious right doesn't speak for all Christians, especially more tolerant, liberal ones, but they are the loudest, and their attitude has to factor into driving people away from the faith.
Which is fine by me.
