Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up.

Standby for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition.

But first, on this Monday, we begin with Christians call Holy Week.

Easter is next Sunday.

Right now, 65% of Americans call themselves Christian.

About 20% are Catholic, 40% Protestant in that range, 2% Muslim, 1% Jewish.

But the fastest growing religion in America is nothing.

Atheism, agnosticism, 18% say they don't believe any longer even if they once did.

Now that number is rising because we are becoming a secular society.

You can see it.

Things that are being passed by Congress and state legislatures today never would have

been passed 30 years ago because we were a much more religious country than the media

has a lot to do with this.

The media generally speaking mocks, but religion does one thing for civilization that no

other entity can do.

It provides constraints on behavior.

If you are a person of faith, you are compelled to act in a positive way toward your fellow

man.

Now this.

Is a mind and staying on budget feels pretty good right now, does it not?

But if there is one thing you can expect this year, it is the unexpected.

That's why American homes shield exists.
