A report released this week by the Pew Research Center states that the number of professing Christians is in decline in America—statistics that some have noted indicates a falling away largely in denominations held to be apostate.
The organization released its report “America’s Changing Religious Landscape” earlier this week, claiming that “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.”
From June 4 through Sept. 30 of last year, the organization surveyed 35,071 Americans about their religious beliefs, and found an eight percent drop over the past seven years in those who identified as Christians.
The research group also found that those who identify as atheists or agnostics, or didn’t have any interest in religion “in particular,” rose six percent. Growth of Muslims and Hindus in America rose less than two percent.
