Last I checked, Tulane has a team... why not cheer for them? You should never put your T-shirt school over your alma mater. That's why ND instantly became #2 for me. [Smoking]

and about the number of agnostics in the country, "the greatest increase in absolute as well as in percentage terms has been among those adults who do not subscribe to any religious identification; their number has more than doubled from 14.3 million in 1990 to 29.4 million in 2001; their proportion has grown from just 8% of the total in 1990 to over 14% in 2001;" so it is not the largest, but it is become the largest single denomination very quickly. (catholic is the largest with 24%, and baptist is about the same size as agnostic with 17%, but both are also declining slowly)

That's kind of a weak site, I always question .edu links. When in doubt, wikipedia comes in handy for things like that. It has a great break down: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States#Religious_affiliation
Nobody's arguing what's increasing or what's declining, but I think you'll find that agnostics and athiests are in the vast minority on this country with whatever site you use. They already got their way with government buildings, but it's absurd for any public place to feel threatened with their choice. It's their decision.
