As the share of Americans who identify as Christian remains stagnant, newly released survey data suggests that a contributing factor toward a lack of growth in believers may be due to Christians being increasingly hesitant to share their faith with others.

According to Pew Research data from last year, the Christian share of the U.S. population steadily declined from 78% in 2007 to 63% in 2019. Since then, negligible increases and decreases have amounted to a leveling off of the drop.

Still, Pew notes that the decline in American Christian identification is likely to resume once again in future years due to the religious habits of young adults (ages 18 to 24), who are far less religious than the oldest cohort (ages 74 and older). The data found that only 46% of young adults identify as Christian (vs. 80% of oldest adults), only 27% pray daily (vs. 58%), and only 25% say they attend religious services at least monthly (vs. 49%).
