The American religious landscape is undergoing a dramatic transformation. White Christians, once the dominant religious group in the U.S., now account for fewer than half of all adults living in the country. Today, fewer than half of all states are majority white Christian. As recently as 2007, 39 states had majority white Christian populations. These are two of the major findings from this report, which is based on findings from PRRI’s 2016 American Values Atlas, the single largest survey of American religious and denominational identity ever conducted. This landmark report is based on a sample of more than 101,000 Americans from all 50 states and includes detailed information about their religious affiliation, denominational ties, political affiliation, and other important demographic attributes.

I think it's odd that this has subgroups of Christianity based on race.

Yeah. And why does Judaism and Islam just get one entry each on this chart, while Christianity gets like ten? Tomato, tomato.

Either way, the "unaffiliated" group growing (if I'm reading this right) is a good sign.

...They clearly went by population, and given how this was done, ethnic composition of Christianity, by far the largest group.

My guess would be that neither group is comparatively large enough justify such a division outside of the ungraphed full data-set.

This is what I mean.

I can see why it looks odd for sure. But I do think there's point to it.

What if America is exactly the same percentage of religiosity that it always was.... But the more nuanced picture is that the white population has trended towards irreligiousity while the traditionally Catholic hispanic immigration has offset that decline? That's something we'd want to understand.
