Secular Student Alliance reports increased 'secularism' on campuses

“The secular student movement is growing faster than we ever expected," said SSA Executive Director August Brunsman. "It's a challenge to keep up with the demand for services. That's a nice problem to have."


Waddaya think?  What does this mean to us as campus ministers and evangelists?

(from the World Future Society weekly update) 
CAMPUS SECULARISM: A U.S. organization supporting nonreligious student groups reports a  growing number of such groups on campuses at the start of the fall 2010  term.  According to the Secular Student Alliance, a record 219 groups offered   atheist and agnostic students an alternative to religious ministries on campus. There were 159 such groups in 2009 and 100 in 2008. The trend toward increased secularism on campus reflects a broader   trend in U.S. society, according to the Alliance. The 2008 American Religious Identification Survey showed that the secular demographic was  the only group to have grown in every state since 1990.   SOURCE: Secular Students Alliance
