Confidence in organized religion is in decline

Confidence in organized religion is in decline

VERBATIM:  The Gallup organization has been culling through its date over the years and paints a rather stark picture.  In the year 2000 — a quarter century ago — 56% of Americans said they had a lot of confidence in organized religion in this country.  In 2025, it was only 36%.  Gallup also reports that while 45% of adults say they currently belong to a church or synagogue — 68% said they did in 2000, which probably has a lot to do with confidence.  MH REPORTING
