Albert R. Hunt: Will rise of nonreligious reshape US politics?

"The single greatest mobilizing force for secularists is the religious right, especially among millennials," Campbell said. Even at Notre Dame, the most famous U.S. Catholic institution, "there is almost no sympathy for the religious right's traditionalist's views."

Political leaders of the evangelical movement don't dispute Pew's findings, but question the implications. They argue that the ascendancy of nonbelievers would energize their base on issues ranging from same-sex marriage to the "war on Christmas" and even, for some, mixed-religion marriage.
