Experts project an estimated 100,000 churches in the US will close or be repurposed over the next decade.
Many churches will be unable to escape this “tsunami” of closings — a grim trajectory one pastor described as, “Every year the pews are getting emptier and the collection plates getting lighter.”
Not sure where that might have showed up. Looks like it was about 63% xtians in 2022 (down from roughly 90% in the early 90s) and estimated to be about 62% now (depending on poll).
I think I’ve read the decline that was happening - where it was roughly 1% decline per year for many years - has mostly leveled off.
Ironically, trying to disappear Hispanics from the country may serve to drive the percentage of xtians down further.
