Religion is quickly fading away, especially in America. 

The Christian population alone of the United States is close to 250 million in a country just over 310 million. I would hardly call that fading away,lol.

It's not "quickly fading away", but it's definitely on the decline. 73% Christian and "no religion" is the (I think, ironically described) fastest growing religious demographic right now. Now, 73% is still the vast majority, but down from 90% from 1963? It's only gonna go down from there.

We have to take into consideration that there is a considerable amount of  immigration from Indian, Asian and Middle Eastern backgrounds compared to what there was in the 60's. North America is a more diversifed continent than it was 50 years ago. 

Interestingly, on a global scale, while decling in the U.S., Christianity has grown 2% globally over the past 40 years (Islam 4% and Doaism a wopping 9%)
