Cathy Lynn Grossman. Explore this interactive graphic showing data collected over 18 years from the American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS). The 2008 results, to be released today, are based on 54,000 interviews with a margin of error of plus or minus 0.5%. It finds that, despite population growth and immigration adding nearly 50 million more adults, almost all denominations have lost ground since the first ARIS data was released in 1990. FULL STORY: For many in USA, religion is now fill-in-the-blank 'NONES': Now 15% of American population FAITH & REASON: What's your religious 'path?' Any? Many? or None? Click on the images across the top to see video of Catholics finding new growth in the Sun Belt, a student's disenchantment with faith in Boston and the rise of nature-based faiths and "new movements." Roll over the bars to see the names of the states, or simply look at the postal abbreviations across the top or bottom of the chart. Beneath the "View by change" tab you can see results for different religious groups by clicking on "Catholics," including Roman, Greek and Eastern Rite Catholics; "Other Christians," including Protestants, non-denominational Christians, Mormons and other Christian faiths; "Other Religions," including Jews, Muslims, eastern religions and religious movements such as Wiccan that are gaining ground; and "No Religion," including atheists, agnostics and those who choose no religious identification. Under the "View by year" tab, you have the same choices of organization by religion, but the added option of seeing the percentages at different times by clicking 1999 or 2008. Under "View by year" you also have the option (on the right side) to see states on a "Ranking" scale instead the default "Map" view.
