A follower on Twitter indicated that he is not Christian and wondered what percent of Americans under 40 are. Well, you know I'm a sucker for that kind of question. The General Social Survey asked people about their religious affiliation in 2018--the latest published data. Here are the results:
If we add up the numbers for Christians, we get 59%, and it's probably closer to 60% since I did not include "Other", which, for example, probably includes quite a few Mormons, who consider themselves Christians and restorationists, not Protestants. If we we create a table with adults 40 and over we get this:
Added up, 78.2% of older Americans are Christians, so the percentage among young people is dramatically lower. It's not a coincidence that many young people also favor socialism.
Maybe a better question would be "do you attend church?" I am Lutheran and consider myself a believer, but just about every Protestant religious organization has gone woke and it disgusts me. If I wanted to be scolded about how I'm supposed to be nice to Muslims, sexual deviants, and people who've moved into my country uninvited I can turn on the TV and have a practically unlimited choice of channels all offering the same message, all in the comfort and privacy of my own home.
ReplyDeleteMy wife and just moved to Boise two years ago, and I suppose at some point I'll take some of the local churches for a test drive, but if the electronic messages you see on their marquee are any indication, it doesn't look promising.
I'm fine with how my church (Orthodox--Greek, Russian, Antiochian, etc.) handles woke issues. In order to not lose parishioners, priests don't say too much in public, but get them alone, and they'll tell you exactly how screwed up the world is currently.
ReplyDeleteRaised Lutheran, not a believer, but I do occasionally go to events with a friend who is Jehovah's Witness, or at my local Catholic church... where if anything wokish comes up, the priest grits his teeth and steam comes out of his ears. He is definitely not a fan.
