Events | Faith of Our Fathers: Why Has Christianity Been in Decline?
from Heard at Heritage · host The Heritage Foundation
Few would be surprised to learn that children of religious fathers are more likely than their peers to be religious as adults. A recent study goes beyond that, however. The Communio Nationwide Study on Faith and Relationships reveals that the collapse in marriage and the resulting decline in resident fatherhood may offer the best explanation for the decline of Christianity in the United States. These conclusions are drawn from the results of a nationwide survey of 19,000 Sunday church attendees conducted during worship in 112 evangelical, Protestant, and Catholic congregations in 13 different states.Join us for a conversation with the founder and president of Communio, JP De Gance, about this research and what we can do in light of it.Listen to other Heritage podcasts: https://www.heritage.org/podcastsSign up for The Agenda newsletter — the lowdown on top issues conservatives need to know about each week: https://www.heritage.org/agendaListen to podcasts from The Daily Signal: https://www.dailysignal.com/podcasts/Get daily conservative news you can trust from our Morning Bell newsletter: DailySignal.com/morningbellsubscription Hosted on Acast.
