Religion in America: Contextualizing the Trends in Faith

Recent Pew Research reports point to a dramatic shift in the U.S. religious landscape. Christians are declining sharply within the population (especially among young adults) while the religiously unaffiliated and members of other faiths continue to grow.

Here Patheos writers explore the current climate of religion and faith in the United States, addressing trends, providing context, and evaluating the repercussions of a shifting religious landscape.
