Gallup:US Church Membership Hits Record Low; Only 50% of Americans Now Belong to a Church

A new Gallup poll released on April 18 shows that the percentage of Americans, who say they belong to a church, synagogue, or mosque has reached a historic low, the Christian Post website reports today (April 22, 2019).

The new report, analyzing religious membership of Americans, found that an average of 50 percent of Americans in 2018 said they are members of a church or other religious institution.

This represents a 20-percentage-point decline in church membership over the past 20 years, and the lowest it has been since Gallup began polling the question in 1937.

Previously, church membership reported being at least 70 percent or more from the years 1937 through 1976.
