America’s Loss of Faith in Faith … And Everything Else

Nate Silver posts this interesting, and comprehensive, collection of data. I found his comments on religion particularly fascinating:
Confidence in organized religion … fell significantly under Bush’s watch, although most of the decline came between 2000 and 2002, when the rating dropped from 29 percent to 19 percent. I’m not sure whether that was the result of the Catholic priest scandals, some odd kind of ricochet from 9/11, or something else, but the scores have yet to really recover.
Bows, FiveThirtyEight.
