The results of a new survey reveal a decrease in the amount of Wisconsin residents who identify themselves as Christian.
The American Religious Identification Survey 2008, conducted by Trinity College between February and November of last year, found that 29 percent of Wisconsinites identified as Catholic in 2008 compared to 39 percent in 1990.
Wisconsin's Catholic population is still proportionately higher than the national average of 25 percent. The amount of other Christians"" dropped from 52 to 49 percent in the state.
The amount of people who practice non-Christian religions has risen, but still only makes up 4 percent of the state's population, the survey found.
According to the survey, the amount of Wisconsinites who declare no religious affiliation rose from 6 percent in 1990 to 15 percent in 2008.
Although Americans have been historically reluctant to identify themselves as atheist or agnostic, this stigma seems to be diminishing, the study said.
