Christians Decline Sharply as Share of Population

“The Christian share of the U.S. population is declining, while the number of U.S. adults who do not identify with any organized religion is growing,” according to an extensive new Pew Research survey.

“Moreover, these changes are taking place across the religious landscape, affecting all regions of the country and many demographic groups. While the drop in Christian affiliation is particularly pronounced among young adults, it is occurring among Americans of all ages.”
