Although the overall population of Christians in America has decreased since 2007, the survey indicates that the fall paused.
Pew Research has published its discoveries from a study of religious landscape 2023-24 in the report, title, “The fall of Christianity In the US, it slowed down, maybe it was equalized. “A massive study surveyed 36,908 adults in the United States throughout the United States. This is the third of its kind in 17 years, each of whom spoke with more than 35,000 respondents.
“After a long-standing fall, the proportion of Americans identifying as Christians show signs of leveling-bar temporarily-on just above six toty,” ” The Pew report is stated.
The first RLS, performed in 2007, revealed that 78% of adults in the United States were identified as various denominations of Christianity. This number has decreased to 71% in the Second RLS in 2014, and now 62%, which is a drop of 16 points since 2007.

Nevertheless, “in the last five years, between 2019 and 2024, the Christian share of the adult population was relatively stable, hovering between 60% and 64%,” Pew reported. “62% of the figure in a new study of religious landscape is breaking into the midst of this recent range.”
The report further noticed that other statistics on these denominations were Christianity in America “Contribution to this new image of stability, such as” 33% say they go to religious services at least once a month “and that” the proportion of Americans who say that they are praying consistently between 44% and 46% of 2021. “
The report offered theories why America, as a whole, became less Christian since 2007.
“One long -term trend driver is” a generational replacement. “Older, very religious, strong Christian generations pass.
She further added: “Landscape surveys show that between 2007 and 2023-24. Each birth of births has become less religious, several measures, as he old.”

Nevertheless, although young are less religious than previous generations, one key point of stability is that “Americans were born in 2000 to 2006 (those aged 18 to 24 years in RLS 2023-24) just as probable as those born in the 1990s (now at the age of 24 to 34), to identify Christians, to be very important in their religion Important in their lives and their religion, and that they are religion, and that they are religion.
One special point of differentiation is political affiliation, because “today 37% of self -written liberals have identified Christianity, which is a drop of 62% in 2007, a fall of 25 points. In the meantime, 51% of libalar now says no religion, compared to 27% in 2007, and now there are more religious’ ‘, there are more religious’ nonses among freedom’.

“There are also fewer Christians and more ‘nones’ among conservatives,” the report said. “But changes in the religious composition of the conservatives were much less pronounced than among the liberals, and the vast majority of conservatives continue to identify with Christianity.”
In short, the report is summarized that “the fall of Christianity and the rise of religious ‘nones’ was much more pronounced among democrats than Republicans.”
