  • Christian Majority – 62% of U.S. adults identify as Christian, with Evangelical Protestants (23%) and Catholics (19%) as the largest groups.
  • Despite its dominance, the share of Christians has decreased from 78% in 2007 to 62% in 2024.
  • Growing Unaffiliated – Nearly 1 in 3 Americans (29%) are religiously unaffiliated.
  • The Religious Landscape Study (RLS) – Conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2007, 2014, and 2023–24, this study surveys more than 35,000 Americans across all 50 states about their religious affiliations.

Would be curious to see the breakdown if they used "attended a service (other than a wedding or funeral) in the past year" as criteria for "practicing" and "non-practicing", and categorized that as well.
And yes -- I know that attending service doesn't truly mean that you are practicing, and not attending service doesn't truly mean that you are non-practicing, but those generally correlate.
