Millennials Now Leave Rel. and Don't Return; Four in Ten Millennials Are Rel. Unaffiliated

A new study by the Pew Research Center finds that millennials are leaving religion and not coming back, the Religion News website reports today (December 13, 2019).

Four in ten millennials now say they are religiously unaffiliated, according to the Pew Research Center.

In fact, millennials (those between the ages of 23 and 38) are now almost as likely to say they have no religion as they are to identify as Christian.

One finding in the study signals that even millennials who grew up religious may be increasingly unlikely to return to religion. Today, 74 percent of unaffiliated millennials have a nonreligious partner or spouse, while only 26 percent have a partner who is religious.
