Springtide Research Institute was recently featured in an article by The Hill. You can see an excerpt of this article in part below, but we encourage you to visit their site to read the piece in its entirety.
Nabil Tueme, a senior research associate at Springtide Research Institute, said the nationwide decrease in church attendance really hit millennials, but Gen Z was the first where nearly a third of them were never involved in a faith community at all.
“In our interviews with young people, we’ve seen a generational shift when it comes to young people’s willingness to engage in a religious community. Because Gen Zers were less likely to be raised religious, many of them don’t carry the negative experiences, perceptions, or trauma that prompted their millennial parents’ disaffiliation. As a result, some of those who fall into this group and are curious about religion feel freer to explore it. That doesn’t always translate to service attendance, but there’s a posture of openness there,” Tueme said.
