Since Solomon erected his temple on Mount Moriah in 960 B.C., it has been destroyed and sacked by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, Syria's Antiochus IV and two Roman Emperors.

You also noted that in the past decade, the number of people who don't identify with any religious affiliation rose 6%, to 14%. One way to look at those figures is as a verification of the trend that more of us are not leaving our faith but finding a different belief, one broad enough to transcend the petty demands and differences of specific religious groups.
