The Pew Research Center on Religion & Public Life is reporting, in their poll of 35,000 Americans, that during the seven years from 2007 to 2014, the numbers of religiously "Unaffiliated" were soaring, the numbers of Christians were plunging, and the numbers of adherents to non-Christian faiths were rising substantially but not nearly as much as were the numbers of "Unaffiliated".
This report, issued on May 12th, is headlined, "America's Changing Religious Landscape: Christians Decline Sharply as Share of Population; Unaffiliated and Other Faiths Continue to Grow".
It shows that: the percentage of Americans who are unaffiliated rose from 16.1% in 2007 up to 22.8% today.
[...][The USA] is becoming a less [religious], and a more religiously diverse, country.

If miracles were natural they wouldn't be miracles. Even the religious understand that the laws of nature apply, except when God causes a miracle to defy them. But that is flippant. I am an atheist and I wrote what I did from that perspective. Supernatural to me meaning not observable, repeatable, and measurable by scientific methods. If there is a better word for that I don't know it. Before you mention those ghost hunter groups, I'll expect you to explain why they've never bothered to pick up their free million dollars from Rands.
