One in five Americans say that religion is not that important to them.

Americans are losing faith. At least, that's the conclusion of a new poll on religion.

Jointly conducted by NBC and The Wall Street Journal, the poll found that 21 percent of Americans feel religion is "not that important" in their lives.

This, NBC News writes, is the "highest percentage" recorded since the survey was first conducted in 1997. "The poll showed that these less religious Americans are more likely to be men, have an income over $75,000, to live in the Northeast or West and to be under the age of 35," says NBC.

Progress can sometimes move inexorably slow, but move it does.

Every year we are seeing faith receding and critical thinking expanding.

It is almost enough to make this godless heathen shed a tear.
