CWN Editor's Note: A new Gallup poll finds that only 49% of Americans say that religion is important in their lives—showing a dramatic decline of 17% in the past decade.
Underlining the remarkable depth of the decline, the Gallup organization—which has asked the same question of respondents in 160 countries since 2007—reports that fewer than 10% of those countries have seen a 15% decline in any decade.
