Pew Research and Gallup surveys confirm the decline of organized religion in the US, with "nuns" (the religiously unaffiliated) nearing one-third of the population. We dissect this massive demographic shift, comparing the dangers posed by deeply devoted believers versus passively religious people. We question if a non-serious Christian is truly harmless or simply a "volatile" target for grifters and con artists. Ultimately, the panel concludes that the rise of secularism signals progress as more people are questioning their beliefs.
