For first time ever, majority of Americans don’t belong to a church or other house of worship

Churchgoing citizens are now a minority demographic in the United States.

The percentage of Americans who belong to a house of worship such as a church, synagogue, or mosque dipped below 50% for the first time ever, according to a survey released by Gallup.

The new survey, published on Monday, found that only 47% of Americans reported membership in a place of worship in 2020, continuing a sharp downward trend that began at the turn of the 21st century.

Gallup first began tracking membership in 1937, at a time when 73% of Americans reported that they belonged to a house of worship. That high level of membership continued for the next six decades until 1999, when 70% of Americans still reported membership. But in the early 2000s, membership in a house of worship began declining steadily.

  1. There is always an angle.

    Which buildings are a place of worship?

    The only place of WORSHIP you belong to is the CHURCH of JESUS CHRIST. and believe in him.

    This is not a building that demands your money. Better KNOWN / CALLED DENOMINATIONS.

    This is your belief and conviction to the power of JESUS / GOD and how you live your life by their word. IT IS CALLED THE BIBLE.

    NOT DENOMINATIONAL INDOCTRINATION taught / preached in a PULPIT / building.

  2. This is something that I have noticed for quite some time, and it is unfortunate. Beyond the biblical instruction that is offered to all, it is also a place of decency. When I look at events happening nationally, along with the complete disregard of the law (locally and nationally) it saddens me to watch the decline.

  3. TV rules, you dont have to dress, sing as loud and off key as you want, place the cash in your own basket, eat your own bread a drink high quality red wine.

    Wonder why this took soooooo long. Business IS business!

  4. So once again seperation is being pushed by WHO!!!More lies and deception as this is coming from marxist luciferians and they want you to believe It!!. No one gets out of here alive and we all individually stand before our creator to be judged not by men but by him alone you will stand, Not with your wife, your church, political party, not on the good deeds you did, but what’s in your heart and how well you followed his truth his words.. obviously allot of people are falling short and don’t even try. So willing to fall all over themselves to kneel and Run towards the darkness as they will all do when the mark is offered

  5. I found that as a single woman, you feel very out of place in a church. Tried several. Other women treated you as though you were a threat to their husbands…unbelievable. I sure wouldn’t want a husband that I had to worry about…something wrong with that picture. People rarely spoke to you or just spoke out of necessity. Not a warm feeling. I stopped going. Don’t need my isolation punctuated.
