A new poll shows more Americans are moving away from organized religion amid the holiest season for Christianity.

More Americans are calling themselves "Nones." A recently published poll from Pew Research Center found that about 28% of U.S. adults are religiously unaffiliated – the group is called “Nones.”

Older Americans are more religious than younger Americans, according to findings.

“They are being replaced by a new generation of young people that are simply far less religious from their parents and grandparents before them, Pew Associate Director of Research, Gregory A. Smith, told The National Desk.

In 2022, the Pew Research Center released a study that found by 2070, Christians may not be the majority in America.

“The biggest factor is switching and especially switching out of Christianity to become unaffiliated. We're talking about people who are raised Christian and now identify as atheist, agnostic, or nothing in particular, that's where most of the movement is,” Stephani Kramer, Senior Pew Researcher, told The National Desk previously.

With religion front and center in the presidential race, former President Donald Trump recently endorsed the "God Bless USA" Bible.

"This Bible is the King James version and also includes our founding father documents, yes, the Constitution," said Trump in a video.

The Bible is selling for $59.99. The website selling the Bible says "it is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign.”

The New York Times reported that Trump is receiving royalties from Bible sales.

Americans minds may be made up about presidential candidates and religion.

A new report released days ago from Pew, found few see President Joe Biden or Trump as especially religious.
