Three in 10 U.S. adults attend religious services regularly, led by Mormons at 67%
As Americans observe Ramadan and prepare to celebrate Easter and Passover, the percentage of adults who report regularly attending religious services remains low. Three in 10 Americans say they attend religious services every week (21%) or almost every week (9%), while 11% report attending about once a month and 56% seldom (25%) or never (31%) attend.
Among major U.S. religious groups, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also widely known as the Mormon Church, are the most observant, with two-thirds attending church weekly or nearly weekly. Protestants (including nondenominational Christians) rank second, with 44% attending services regularly, followed by Muslims (38%) and Catholics (33%).
Majorities of Jewish, Orthodox, Buddhist and Hindu Americans say they seldom or never attend religious services.
Yeah and weirdly that’s about the only thing I respect about Catholics- they actually can and do tell mofos “you aint Catholic, those aint Catholic beliefs” so they can kind of ‘police their own’. Whereas I can say I’m a Baptist Zoroastrian that believes Jesus was actually Zeus and nobody can tell me that’s not a Baptist belief. Not that I think Catholic dogma makes an sense on its own but at least they don’t allow any old shmuck to fork it.
But yeah I don’t think there’s a way to keep the secular community and drop the religious tribalism, at least not without a Moon Haven style guided cultural reboot but to me that’s less plausible than Jesus actually being Zeus.
You and I know VERY different Baptists, LOL.
I’m not saying there aren’t Baptists that wouldn’t deck me for saying it out loud, but there’s no global Baptist authority to tell me my ideas aren’t Baptist ideas.
Church of England has entered the Chat
Fair, though it did take an actual King to make that happen.
