Topic	Is the u.s. on avg. getting less religious?
Smallville 03/24/24 1:00:44 PM #15:	UnsteadyOwl posted... Here's some data covering religious affiliation of Americans from 1972 to 2021. In that time, the percentage of Americans who identify as Christian dropped from 90% to 63%. In the same time, the percentage who identify as having no religious affiliation went from 5% to 29%. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2022/09/13/how-u-s-religious-composition-has-changed-in-recent-decades/ It should be noted though that this change is largely not reflected in government. In the current Congress, about 88% of members identify as belonging to some Christian denomination. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2023/01/03/faith-on-the-hill-2023/ yeah it's true it is like congress tends to be much more religious , much than the avg american, mostly christian. Why though? And have heard some say that many congress don't really believe it irl or something like that. Have heard others say whether they believe it or not irl does not matter. --- "That won't work Boss, hide the target in a place they're unlikely to be found"---GZ <cite>Smallville posted [p:979538200] in Is the u.s...
