“Post Christian”
You have been hearing talk about the fact that we are living in a post Christian America…in fact President Obama said we are “no longer a Christ nation.”
Well, a new poll from Deseret News and The Marist Poll suggests we’re seeing it unfold in real time.
As one analyst of the survey data wrote, “The younger you are, the less likely you are to believe in God, describe yourself as spiritual or regularly pray.”
Of Americans ages 18 to 29, only 21% report going to church at least weekly and just 27% say they pray daily.
Even more concerning is this finding: Only 31% of young adults say they believe in God as described by the Bible.
These numbers do not herald thriving churches and other places of worship in future decades.
In fact, they predict a future in which churches are as empty as offices during the pandemic.
According to the poll, nearly 8 in 10 Americans say that they look to their family as a source of moral guidance.
While that is most true for Christians and those who practice a religion (83% and 86%, respectively), it’s also true for nearly three-quarter of those who don’t practice a religion.
