Religion

Although it may be true, I haven’t seen anything that suggests people are abandoning more conservative Christian denominations for more liberal ones or other religions are picking up the membership lost by the less tolerant ones.

I think it’s safe to assume the growth in religious “nones” category is a good mix of people either abandoning religion altogether or at least organized religion. Either way it shows people are turning their backs on those who demand they think a certain way, which is almost certainly a good thing for freedom of thought.
