The many decades of steady decline in the share of Americans who call themselves Christians may have finally stopped, according to a landmark new survey from Pew Research Center.
The organization found through their Religious Landscape Study, which is the largest single survey they conduct, that some 62% of adults in America “identify as Christians,” a substantial decline from the 69% who said the same in 2014 and the 78% who said the same in 2007.
But in the five years between 2019 and 2024, the share of the adult population considering themselves Christians has been relatively stable, marking a “leveling off” in the phenomenon.
