As an agnostic, I find this to be good news, that people are moving away from Dogma. So NSG, what I want to ask is this: have you ever doubted the existence of god, and if so what caused you to doubt it? If you have never doubted it, why not?

Atheist here.
I always think such declarations are premature; it could be a transient rather than a permanent trend. These fluctuations have happened elsehwere in the world.
Which brings me to my second objection: your poll pertains to people in The United States of America, whereas your title and OP seem to indicate that this is a more general phenomenon. America is not the whole world.

yes there is. As in, I neither believe or disbelieve. but, looking back in history and seeing all the atrocities committed in the name of organized religion, I am skeptical of any priest, preacher, dogma, or anyone who claims to know the unknowable.
