According to a Gallup survey, 47% of the US population are members of some religious institutions. Two decades ago, the percentage was 70%. Experts say that many millennials turn away from religion due to the mixing of right-wing politics and Christianity. Professor of the University of Notre Dame's political science department, David Campbell, stated that this decline is an "allergic reaction to the religious right." His research shows that an increasing number of Americans have moved away from religion as politicians – mainly Republicans – have combined faith with their politics. Campbell says the current decline is likely to continue. Democrats are opting out of organized religion as religion has been closely linked with conservative politics. Co-founder of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, Annie Laurie Gaylor, said that the Gallup data suggests the US is moving positively. She mentioned that even though the American constitution forbids any religious test for public office, politicians virtually have to wear religion on their sleeve to be elected.
