Study: Christianity in U.S. Continues Decline but Evangelicalism Is More Stable


(Worthy News) – The percentage of Americans who identify as Christian continued to decline in a new study, although those who consider themselves to be evangelicals fell only slightly.

The Pew Research Center study, based on new surveys and data collected over the past decade, showed the percentage of American adults who call themselves Christian stood at 65 percent in combined data from 2018/19, a decrease of 12 points since 2009, when 77 percent of adults identified that way.

At the same time, the percentage of adults who identify as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular” rose to 26 percent in 2018/19, an uptick from 17 percent in 2009.

Although those findings led the national headlines, the news wasn’t as bad for evangelicals. The percentage of Americans who identify as born-again or evangelical stood at 25 percent, having fallen 3 percent over the decade, from 28 percent in 2009. [ Source (Read More…) ]
