40 years ago religion was almost mandatory. It made the US bible belt seem like moderates!
That's the best news I've heard all day!
Thank you Petter. Salut!

Wow. That's surprising in what I always considered to be a very Catholic country.

It's partly a reaction to the role the Catholic Church played in support of Franco. All the younger people are highly disillusioned about religion.
@Faithless1 Yeah, but not being religiously affiliated is not the same as atheist by a long shot. Most of those religiously unaffiliated in the US are "spiritual" but not religious. At least half of them are Christians who don't go to church.
@Faithless1 That sounds about right.
