Growing hostility toward religion was found, too. About 1 in 10 young adults are "irreligious" — or actively against religion — after virtually none of them fit that description as teenagers.

Nice to know that college students are showing signs of maturity and leaving their devils, demons, ghosts and gods behind.

I have two grandson's who are atheist and they don't push it on people or put anyone down who doesn't believe as they do they just mostly want to be left alone to believe the way they want and for others to be free to exercise their choice of beliefs.  Neither are what you could call "hostile" toward religion they just don't happen to agree with it and many of their friends feel the same.

The evangelicals won't leave anyone alone and the fundies want the gov't to promote their religion.  So, someone has to take a stand and stop the treason and uphold the Constitution.
