The Sound of Ideas - Declining Religion Affiliation in America
 
Play
 
Christianity is on the decline in the United States, while the number of people who identify with no organized religion is growing. Those are some key findings of the Pew Research Center's recently released U.S. Religious Landscape Study. Younger people aren't affiliating with churches the way their parents and grandparents did. We'll dig into the numbers, offer some conclusions and invite analysis, on this edition of Sound of Ideas.
