  American Revolutionary War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War for Independence, was the military side of the American Revolution.
Most American Indian communities east of the Mississippi River were affected by the war; many divided over the question of which side to support.
Full of resentment, Native Americans reluctantly confirmed these land cessions with the United States in a series of treaties, but the result was essentially an armed truce—-the fighting would be renewed in conflicts along the frontier, the largest being the Northwest Indian War.

People who specify atheism as their religious preference actually make up less than one-half of one percent of the population in many countries where much large numbers claim no religious preference, such as the United States (13.2% nonreligious according to ARIS study of 2001) and Australia (15% nonreligious).
Finally, a larger number of people answer "none" or "non-religious" when asked asked an open-ended queston about what their religious preference is. Although figures vary for each country, average numbers indicate that roughly half of the people who self-identify as "nonreligious" also answer "yes" when asked if they believe in God or a Higher Power.
