Religious Trends

“Among those who attend church every week, 44% said they experience God’s presence every week and 18% do so on a monthly basis.”Barna Study: What People Experience in Churches

“Half of the Americans who do not attend church also do not wonder if there is an ultimate purpose for their lives or the possibility that God has a plan for them”

“A Gallup poll released Monday highlights the religious spilt … showing that 52 percent of Democrats seldom or never attend church. And the percentage of Democrats who attend church weekly has dropped two percentage points – down from 29 to 27 percent – since the first quarter of 2008.” Fewer Democrats in Church?
