Church attendance in the United States is lower than it was before the Covid-19 pandemic, a new survey indicated.

In the Gallup survey, 31 percent of respondents said they have attended church, synagogue, mosque or temple in the past seven days.

In Gallup polls conducted from 2020 to the most recent poll — gathered May 1-24, 2023 — an average of 30 percent of respondents said they attended services in the past week.

A bit of this could be attributed to older people woodboxing during the 2020 period, given that demographic tends to make up a sizeable amount of churchgoers

I was wondering about those top line (bottom line :-) numbers. They didn't seem far enough apart to be outside the margin of error. Looking at the trend graph though you can see things are just marching relentlessly in the right direction.

Yay
