by a sex scandal (let's hope all our leaders have learned a lesson from former Rep. Anthony Weiner and stay away from sexting); and the «nones» - those who don't identify with one religion - will grow even more numerous and find religious meanings in unexpected places (what TV show will become this season's «Lost»?)
