** In U.S., decline of Christianity continues at rapid pace ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
The religious landscape of the United States continues to change at a rapid clip. In Pew Research Center telephone surveys conducted in 2018 and 2019, 65% of American adults describe themselves as Christians when asked about their religion, down 12 percentage points over the past decade. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated share of the population, consisting of people who describe their religious identity as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular,” now stands at 26%, up from 17% in 2009. A new report ([link removed]) looks at the details behind this trend, as well the declining share of Americans who say they regularly attend religious services.
