'Nones' Now as Big as Evangelicals & Catholics in the US

The percentage of Americans who report regularly attending religious services continues to decline. Only three in 10 Americans say they attend religious services every week (21%) or almost every week (9%), while 11% report attending about once a month, and 56% seldom (25%) or never (31%).

Two decades ago, an average of 42% of U.S. adults attended religious services every week or nearly every week. A decade ago, the figure fell to 38%, and it is currently at 30%. This decline is largely driven by the increase in Americans with no religious affiliation—9% in 2000–2003 versus 21% in 2021–2023—almost all of whom do not attend services.

And that's why preachers and religious grifters are panicking.

And it's also what they'll claim is the cause of social "moral decay." 🙄

To date, most studies on religion have relied on surveys where respondents self-report their worship, potentially limiting the reliability of results—until now.

A recent study using anonymized location data from smartphones to provide a descriptive analysis of religious worship attendance in the United States revealed that only 5% of Americans attend services "weekly," far fewer than the approximately 22% who report they do so in surveys.

Christians even lie about going to church. What a shocker.

Can you blame them? Church is boring. Plus all the negatively being thrown around, who wants that noise.

The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University released the second installment of its American Worldview Inventory 2025 on Wednesday.

The research found that overall, 60% of Americans do not believe God exists or that He "affects lives."

Nearly half of self-identified Christians (47%) and a slightly smaller share of theologically identified born-again Christians (40%) said the same.

George Barna, director of research at Arizona Christian University, said of the findings, "The more time you spend thinking about what this research tells us, the more you are likely to conclude that nothing short of sweeping national repentance and spiritual renewal can save America from itself."

Cope and seethe, assholes.

We will Crusade against the Godless.

I's why they're more desperate than ever to main control.
