Christians Soon to Be a Minority in the USA
<p>A few months ago, I wrote an article about how Australia is no longer a majority Christian nation. Now, according to new <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2022/09/13/modeling-the-future-of-religion-in-america/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">research</a> from Pew, the USA is not too far behind.</p>
<p>The USA has long been at the center of the evangelical church universe, enjoying majority status in the USA for as long as anyone can remember. In fact, in the early nineties, as many as 90% of Americans called themselves Christians. However, by 2020, that number had fallen to 64%.</p>
<p>At the same time, the number of people who call themselves either atheist, agnostic, or “religions nones” has almost doubled from 16% in 2007 to 30% in 2020. If this trend continues, over the next fifty years, “religious nones” will take Christianity’s place as the majority belief system — or rather non-belief system — in the USA.</p>
