Pew Study: U.S. Christianity Stabilizes at 62%

The Pew Research Center's latest Religious Landscape Study indicates that the long-term decline in Americans identifying as Christian has stabilized since 2019, with 62% of U.S. adults currently identifying as Christian, compared to 78% in 2007. This stabilization coincides with the plateauing of the 'religiously unaffiliated' category, which now accounts for 29% of the population. The study highlights substantial generational differences, with younger adults significantly less religious than older generations, potentially suggesting a future decline in Christianity. Additionally, 7% of Americans identify with non-Christian religions, a slight increase since 2007. The survey also notes that religious affiliation continues to align closely with political views, with more liberals now identifying as religiously unaffiliated than as Christians. The survey, conducted among over 36,000 respondents, reflects a nuanced picture of American spirituality and its changing landscape.
