Millennials Leaving Church in Droves

12.05.2015
According to a new landmark study conducted by the Pew Research Center, a survey of 35,000 American adults shows the Christian percentage of the population dropping precipitously, to 70.6%. In 2007, the last time Pew conducted a similar survey, 78.4% of American adults called themselves Christian.
In the meantime, almost every major branch of Christianity in the United States has lost a significant number of members, Pew found, mainly because millennials are leaving the fold. More than one-third of millennials now say they are unaffiliated with any faith, up 10 percentage points since 2007. Many Christian denominations have been riven by internal struggles over same-sex marriage, particularly in the last decade.
