I do know one person that goes to church but have not seen a business closed in decades. Religion has had a big decline in the past 20 years. https://news.gallup.com/poll/248837/...o-decades.aspx U.S. church membership was 70% or higher from 1937 through 1976, falling modestly to an average of 68% in the 1970s through the 1990s. The past 20 years have seen an acceleration in the drop-off, with a 20-percentage-point decline since 1999 and more than half of that change occurring since the start of the current decade. |
