Evangelicals make up the nation’s single-largest tradition, followed by
Catholics. The survey also notes many Americans have changed religious

religious life also shows great fluidity, with many adults switching
religious affiliations or abandoning ties to organized denominations
altogether, according to a new survey released today.
The study also suggests that, in the near future, Protestants may no longer make up a majority of Americans.
