America is becoming less religious, yes?

An article in USA Today gave the following report in March of this year, indicating the America is becoming a less religious nation: "The percentage of people who call themselves in some way Christian has dropped more than 11% in a generation. The faithful have scattered out of their traditional bases: The Bible Belt is less Baptist. The Rust Belt is less Catholic. And everywhere, more people are exploring spiritual frontiers - or falling off the faith map completely." What we have to consider is the possibility that becoming a less religious nation may actually be a good thing... or, at least an opportunity for something good to happen. Some Christians are reacting strongly to the aforementioned statistics and with a public outcry for more legislated morality or declaring the "culture war" between religious conservatives and atheistic liberals in full swing. In such a struggle, it's difficult for the Church to know where to stand. . What do you think?
