In U.S., Decline of Christianity Continues at Rapid Pace - An Update on America's changing Religious Landscape

Sharing core norms and values
Nov 11, 2019 | Pew Research Center

A new analysis of trends in the religious composition and churchgoing habits of the U.S. public, based on Pew Research Center random-digit-dial (RDD) political polling, finds that in 2018 and 2019, 65 percent of American adults described themselves as Christians, people who described their religious identity as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular,” stood at 26 percent, up from 17 percent in 2009. These religious “nones” are growing faster among Democrats than Republicans, and across multiple demographic groups – among white people, black people and Hispanics, and men and women - in all regions; and among college graduates and those with lower levels of educational attainment.
