The big takeaway: the number of non-religiously affiliated Americans was growing; the number of Christians was declining. Here\\u2019s how they summed it up:\\n"The changes underway in the American religious landscape are broad-based. The Christian share of the population is down and religious \\u201cnones\\u201d have grown across multiple demographic groups: white people, black people and Hispanics; men and women; in all regions of the country; and among college graduates and those with lower levels of educational attainment. Religious \\u201cnones\\u201d are growing faster among Democrats than Republicans, though their ranks are swelling in both partisan coalitions. And although the religiously unaffiliated are on the rise among younger people and most groups of older adults, their growth is most pronounced among young adults."\\nTo talk about these numbers and what they suggest about the future of Christianity in the US, Quick to Listen turned to CT\\u2019s news editor Daniel Silliman, who has closely studied American religious life. Daniel joined digital media producer Morgan Lee and editor in chief Mark Galli to discuss why Christianity continues to decline, the relationship that \\u201cnones\\u201d have to faith, and what similarities or differences these numbers have with the religious situation in Western Europe.\\nThis episode of Quick to Listen is brought to you in part by\\xa0Intensional.
