[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the first time in U.S. history, more than 50% of Americans is Agnostic, Atheist, or Non-practicing.
[b]
Americans' membership in houses of worship continued to decline last year, dropping below 50% for the first time in Gallup's eight-decade trend. In 2020, 47% of Americans said they belonged to a church, synagogue or mosque, down from 50% in 2018 and 70% in 1999.[/b]

I do not think you are correct. Being a member of a church is different than attending church, you can attend church and not be a member. Also lots of religious ppl do not attend a traditional worship service weekly. [/quote]

This! The phrasing of the question matters. I went to church every week but was not a member. I am a divorce catholic who remarried and had kids. We never registered except to baptize and then move away abd just didn't register. Now post-covid, I have had a chance to reflect and we will return to church but I think we will be attending an episcopal church that aligns more with my beliefs.[/quote]
