The U.S. is still a mostly Christian country.

The U.S. Religious Landscape Survey, released today, however, shows Protestants may soon be in the minority, according to the L.A. Times.

Barely 51% of Americans are Protestants, and among people between the ages of 18 and 29, just 43% identify with this branch of Christianity, according to the study by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

All the particulars are here.

In Minnesota (see chart), the percentage of evangelical Protestants is below the national average. The number of Catholics is above the national average.
