A recent report shows that fewer Americans consider homosexuality to be a sin.

According to Lifeway Research just over a third of Americans view homosexuality as a sin, down from 44 percent a year earlier.

“The culture is clearly shifting on homosexuality and this creates a whole new issue: How will America deal with a minority view, strongly held by evangelicals, Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, and so many others?” said Ed Stetzer, president of LifeWay.

The Religion News Service has the full story.
