Faith in America on the decline – But there is a spark of revival in a younger generation.
A 2022 Gallup Poll of faith in America found that for the first time since 1928, under 50% of Americans hold any faith tradition or association whatsoever. Many church denominations report drastic decreasing numbers of general church attendance. Generation Z is the most unchurched generation in American history, according to the Gallup poll.
Among young people in their 30’s and 40’s is a movement of deconstructing their faith. In Ohio, leading up to the 2020 pandemic, church attendance was on the decline and church closures were steadily increasing.
Post-pandemic, it has accelerated to where thousands of churches in Ohio have closed, and some have merged to stay viable and to survive, including Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox churches.
Christian Universities and Seminaries are also on the decline. Many have closed. Others are reporting lower enrollments.
Atheism, the occult, and satanism, are on the rise.
We are living in unprecedented times when Christian leaders are renouncing their faith and large numbers of believers are falling away. Is this the final apostasy prophesied by Jesus and Paul? Is there hope for the younger generation to experience a move of God in their time?
