Church Attendance Declines Across Major U.S. Religious Groups

A Gallup survey reveals a significant drop in regular churchgoers, driven by a rise in non-affiliation and younger demographics' shifting attitudes.

Church attendance in the U.S. has declined across most major religious groups, with only 30% of Americans attending weekly or nearly every week between 2021 and 2023.
The increase in Americans with no religious affiliation, rising from 9% in 2000-2003 to 21% in 2021-2023, is a significant factor driving the decline in church attendance.
Mormonism reports the highest rate of weekly attendance at 67%, followed by Protestants, Muslims, and Catholics.
Younger Americans, particularly those aged 18 to 29, show weaker attachments to religion, contributing to the downward trend in church attendance.
Despite the decline, the articles highlight that religious service attendance remains a significant aspect of life for many Americans, with over 106 million participating regularly.
