USA: no church

An autumn survey has revealed that nearly one in four millennials are religiously unaf-filiated, and many of them say they left the church due to teachings on homosexuality.

25% of Americans are religiously unaffili-ated and religious affiliation has been declining noticeably since the 1990s. The numbers of people who have left the church are greater the younger the demographic.

For example, only 13% of those aged over 65 say they are religiously unaffiliated, 17% aged 50 to 64 say the same, 29% in the 30 to 49 age group do not believe in religion, and a sizeable 39% of 18 to 29-year-olds say they are religiously unaffiliated.
