Christianity quickly diminishing in US, on pace to become minority religion in decades -Research Study Jon Brown, Fox News, Christianity quickly diminishing in US, on pace to become minority religion in decades. A recently released study suggests the number of Christians in the U.S. is diminishing quickly and being replaced by those who do not identify with any religion. A new report by Pew Research Center and the General Social Survey published Tuesday found a surge of adults leaving Christianity to become atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular.” It predicted that if the number of Christians under 30 abandoning their faith accelerates beyond the current pace, adherents of the historically dominant religion of the U.S. could become a minority by 2045. Noting how approximately 90% of Americans identified as Christians in the early 1990s, the study observed that number, which includes children, had fallen to only 64% by 2020. The number of people in the U.S. who identify as religiously unaffiliated, meanwhile, skyrocketed from 16% in 2007 to 29% in 2020, the research showed. Other religions such as Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, accounted for approximately 6%. The study presented four hypothetical scenarios by which the U.S. religious landscape could change in the coming decades. In one scenario, researchers analyzed the potential impact of young Christian adults abandoning their faith and switching affiliation without limitation. The other three scenarios hypothesize other types of increasing religious disaffiliation , but “they all show Christians continuing to shrink as a share of the U.S. population, even under the counterfactual assumption that all switching came to a complete stop in 2020.” All four scenarios project swelling ranks among the religiously unaffiliated, or “nones,” throughout the next half-century. The only scenario that projects Christians maintaining a majority in the U.S. through 2070 is if no one changes their religious affiliation after 2020. “Of course, it is possible that events outside the study's model — such as war, economic depression, climate crisis, changing immigration patterns or religious innovations — could reverse current religious switching trends, leading to a revival of Christianity in the United States,” the study said. “But there are no current switching patterns in the U.S. that can be factored into the mathematical models to project such a result.” The study’s data showed that while more older Americans are remaining identified with Christianity, many younger adults are increasingly switching to “nones.” “If the pace of switching before the age of 30 were to speed up throughout the projection period without any brakes, Christians would no longer be a majority by 2045,” Pew researchers noted. In such a scenario, the number of religiously unaffiliated would stand at 52% and the number of Christians dip to 35% by 2070. “Switching has not ended and there is no reason to think it will come to an abrupt stop,” the researchers said, adding, “Still, if fewer future young adults switch from Christianity to no affiliation, or if movement in the opposite direction increases, the future religious landscape might resemble the results of this projection.” The researchers predicted based on recent generational trends that the most likely scenario among their hypotheticals is Christianity declining but still remaining capped at 50%. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DMjPwIdd9NjQ&ved=2ahUKEwio2f_Ru7f6AhVLhv0HHWBLDbQQFnoECAgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0NvPAlzMkG1HzfeEbWO2V- 1 Like

According to the founder this group will be relatively small compared to all other religions so don't expect true Christians to be above 0.01% till God's Kingdom come! 1 Like |

Hmm! The New Era is near - God willing. What a very interesting time it'll be when his eminence, the great emperor and saviour of the world "The Unity" marks his emergence. We are awaiting the moment. O Lord, we await "The Unity" On the subject matter, religion started losing its grip or influence in the West for quite a long time now so it's not quite a surprise. |

Even kids now spot the bullcrap from a mile away.

kingxsamz: Evil men will wax worse and worse, the love of many will wax cold, you have left your first love, few there be that find the way, the road is narrow etc. These are things every normal christian saw before you were born and are written in God's Word. That it is news to you and your only source of happiness in life is as a result of your ignorance, not my fault. BTW, the world was safer, healthier, liveable, richer and happier in 1960 than today. Well, what do you know than google and youtube. |
Re: Christianity On The Pace To Becoming Minority Religion In US by kingxsamz(m): 2:27pm On Sep 29, 2022 |
Image123: Yeah, it's normal and it's also not hard to predict that every religion will lose its hold one day. Fortunately, this is an age of information, so people creating new gods and religions will be a lot harder since you can't lie your way out for long. Also, life is easier and better, else this sad text you sent to me would have gotten to me in 6 months time. Your religion is fast losing relevance. Brace up. |

The same Nigeria where most religious folks don't mind traveling to irreligious countries to live the rest of their lives. Anyway sha, your religion is on decline, and it's nice to see.

Re: Christianity On The Pace To Becoming Minority Religion In US by Dtruthspeaker: 3:52pm On Sep 29, 2022 |
kingxsamz: Yep! Our stupid bastards imported those evil things and Curses and therefore have their own share of the plagues. And the more evil Nigeria becomes, (antiGodism, homosexuality, crossdressism, unlimited adultery and fornication) the are going to have their portion of plagues as they have in America. Eg more flooding, more droughts, more mindlessly murders etc. Which is quite lovely to see as we the raptured very much appreciate that The Word of The Lord is Fullfilled as He has kept us Safe from these things as Promised. So, More evils to the evil. "So, Captain of the Plagues, keep firing and cease not, until the end"! |

kingxsamz: As ignorant as usual. Religion can't lose hold on humans. There'll always be something or someone to worship. That's the makeup of man, but of course, what do you know. Christianity can never lose relevance as the Bible remains fresher and more current than tomorrow's newspaper. The Lord is still answering and giving life to the basic needs and questions of life.

Image123: No be me talk am, that's what the statistics say. Even without the stats sef, it's very obvious your religion is declining. You can't compare now to 10 years ago. Most people who are Christians sef don't even practice it or read their Bible, and many are curious and beginning to see things cleary for themselves. Adults are now less religious and their kids will even become more irreligious. Even if there are Christians, most will just identify with the name because that's what their parents identified with. Deep down you know it's true. Which ever way, I'm here to watch it unfold. So don't cry yet.

kingxsamz: Church goers, not Christians. And most Church goers are simply closet anti-God. Secondly, even before Visa lottery and Nigerian things Jand and yank was like Igbo yearly Christmas village travel in my family. So, it is even that I foresaw what was going to happen and I have never renewed my passport since it expired. And thank God, the Lord has blessed me so much that my people are even thinking of coming back home. |
