For the first time since the late 1930s, fewer than half of Americans say they belong to a church, synagogue or mosque. 47% of Americans now say they belong to a house of worship, down from 70% in the mid-1990s and 50% in 2019.
The decline in membership coincides with the rise of the so-called “Nones” — those who claim no religious affiliation. Gallup reports about one in five Americans (21%) is a None — making them as large a group as evangelicals or Catholics. Other polls put the number at closer to 30%.
