They say a picture tells the story of a thousand words.

According to the General Social Survey (GSS), Evangelicals are holding relatively steady at just under a quarter of the American population (22.5%), though in a long-term decline since the mid-’90s.

The “nones”, however, are skyrocketing and by GSS calculations now represent 23.1% of the population. 

Let the story be told.
