In 1900, 95% of Europeans were Christian.
Today? That number is just 76%—and falling. 📉

“I don’t have to go to church to be a Christian.” I’ve heard this said many times by well-meaning people of faith. To be honest, they’re right. The Apostle Paul writes in his letter to the Romans, “If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Rom. 10:9, NLT) Weekly church attendance is not listed here as being requisite for admittance into Christendom.

Political scientist Ryan Burge reports on exhaustive polling data which find that "the more people go to church, the less liberal they are." This is true across the board, from evangelical Christian churches to mainline ones to Catholic ones: "Higher attendance means less liberalism."

I am doing a project called Sacred Places NYC which looks at religious buildings around NYC, their history, and how they are surviving in a changing city.

My latest is a historic church on Staten Island that recently celebrated its 175th anniversary.
