People in the U.S. are leaving and switching faith traditions in large numbers. The idea of “religious churning” is very common in America, according to a new survey from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI).

It finds that around one-quarter (26%) of Americans now identify as religiously unaffiliated, a number that has risen over the last decade and is now the largest single religious group in the U.S. That’s similar to what other surveys and polls have also found, including Pew Research.

    we’ll see a revival in paganism derived from pre-Christianized Europe

    I hope not? Those types of ideologies were even more backwards than the Abrahamic faith ones, and the good parts were all rolled up into Judaism or Christianity. I am not sure if I misremember, so let me know otherwise. I remember movies like Midsommar as a good example of this type of ideology at an extreme/cult level.

    Anything where you’re believing in some woo woo as an organization, or even as a small group, is just a bad idea for societal development. I just want people to move away from mythology based origin stories, or explanation for known or unknown phenomena 😭
