Across the board decline in house of worship membership

 By Mathew Goldstein


Gallup polling (https://news.gallup.com/poll/341963/church-membership-falls-below-majority-first-time.aspx shows a decline in house of worship membership starting around 2000, a trend that has accelerated somewhat more recently, crossing below 50% for the first time. A decline is found across all age, gender, marital status, education level, geographical region, and race groupings. However, older conservative Protestants are more likely to continue to remain house of worship members than most of the rest of the population.
