The BBC reports on a recent poll:US Christians numbers ‘decline sharply’, poll finds
The number of Americans who identify as Christian has fallen nearly eight percentage points in only seven years, according to a new survey.
Pew Research Center found that 71% of Americans identified as Christian in 2014 – down from 78% in 2007.
In the same period, Americans identifying as having no religion grew from 16% to 23%.
Fifty-six million Americans do not observe any religion, the second largest community after Evangelicals.
This just reflects a normal cycle in the US. Every so often since the founding of the United States there is a religious revival movement [‘awakening’] that flourishes and then fades. It generally fades when it turns to politics and leaves spiritual matters behind.
