Maybe you heard yesterday that the Postal Service is ending Saturday delivery, but maybe you didn't know that until 1912 there was Sunday delivery and post offices open for at least an hour.
1912 marked the end of a 100-year battle about the sacredness of Sunday that said a lot about the religious nature of the American people. We're a religious church-going nation, compared to Europe, but there are signs of a new tilt.
Forty years ago Dean Kelley published a famous book about why conservative churches were growing. Here in 2013, the growth is coming in a different sector. There are many more people who claim no religious affiliation than there used to be, and the phenomenon of generational displacement makes it seem that the "none of the above" group will just keep getting bigger.
What this means in politics and other arenas.
