Another Look at the Decline in Church Affiliation

Filed under In The News no comments

Reporting on a USA Today article, CNN reports on the decline in religious affiliation in the United States.

Only two states reported a rise in religious affiliations:

  • Louisiana – 8% increase
  • Rhode Island – 2% increase

In virtually every state, there was an increase in people saying that they had no religious affiliation, with the highest increase in Vermont (21%).

Experts say that people are "making up their own stories" on who they are and that for many, religion has simply become a "fashion statement" and not a deep personal commitment.
