The percentage of first year college males who will claim no religious affiliation in 2030 is approximately ___%

  34.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the relationship is approximately linear with time, we can use technology to draw a line of best fit through the given data. Extrapolating to the year 2030 predicts the value to be 34.5%.

In 2030, we might expect about 34.5% of male first-year college students to claim no religious affiliation.

Additional comment

When it comes to religion, many factors are in play. The assumption we have made has no justification whatever, except that it provides a method for answering the question. (It also predicts the percentage to be 0 in 1963, which we believe to be unrealistic.) An exponential fit is better (r^2 = 0.97), and it predicts about 46.0%.
