The US has approximately 330 million people. Asserting more than 1/3 of all adults (330 million includes children) in the US are atheist is a bold and, in your comment, unsubstantiated claim.
- klyrs 7y agoThis is a weird tangent, and "effectively atheist" is an ill-defined umbrella, but if we take that to mean "no religion / unaffiliated / atheist / agnostic" then it doesn't seem too far off. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreligion_in_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreligion_in_the_United_Sta...
