"OK, but what about us non-religious? Are we growing?"

Who knows. Most non-religious folks aren't part of any organized group, so it's tough to count them. I'd say that the numbers are, and will remain, unknown.

"tough to count them."

Since we have GPS we can have everyone embedded with a "belief chip." In order to change it, just pass through a church/mosque/temple/hut/tent door. There could be a side door for visitors.

We could find out what each herd is doing. Marketers would love this. Statisticians would love this.

Maybe this is happening now in the Catholic Church. I always feel a little itch on my right buttock when I go into church. Dooo Dooo Dooo Doooo...
