I don't know that I totally believe that. If someone were to ask me if I'm Christian I would probably say yes even though I've never been baptized or been a member of a church.

I think young families are looking for a community, a place to belong. Neighborhoods don't provide that anymore and families are far flung.

Muslim families on other hand are largely avoiding private religious schools due to social stigma, fear of Islamophobia, odd chance of radicalization or less advanced academic opportunities. I see more Muslim parents sending kids to catholic schools than Islamic schools.

Yes, younger people are leaving Evangelical religions and becoming Catholic because it's not a Zionist religion.


Well, also the schools. Catholic schools are more popular than ever, the parishes with schools are becoming very crowded.


This really might be a factor - at least in some areas. We toured several Catholic schools in metro DC and we like their academic approach.

I believe in the rise of Catholicism. My church is standing room only at Mass on Sundays, not even just Easter & Christmas. You have to get there super early to get a seat for the two later morning times, not the 7am.

After many years of steady decline, the share of Americans who identify as Christians shows signs of leveling off – at least temporarily – at slightly above six-in-ten, according to a massive new Pew Research Center survey of 36,908 U.S. adults.

Interesting data here.
