Losing their religion: why US churches are on the decline
As the US adjusts to an increasingly non-religious population, thousands of churches are closing each year – probably accelerated by Covid
Around 1970, about 92% of American identified as Christian, but by 2027, it is projected to drop to 50% or under.
So, why is this?
It is noteworthy that there was a big drop in church attendance after Covid. After the government shut society down, many did not return to church just like many did not return to work.
