100 Million Americans Don't Go to Church, Do You Evilbore?

When these statistics are projected across the aggregate adult population, the numbers are staggering. An estimated 73 million adults are presently unchurched. When teens and children are added, the total swells to roughly 100 million Americans.

Quote
For instance, 47% of political liberals are unchurched, more than twice the percentage found among political conservatives (19%). African Americans were less likely to be unchurched (25%) than were whites (32%) or Hispanics (34%). Asians, however, doubled the national average: 63% were unchurched! Single adults continued a historic pattern of being more likely than married adults to stay away from religious services (37% versus 29%, respectively).

Residents of the West (42%) and Northeast (39%) remain the most church resistant, while those in the South are the least prone to avoid religious services (26%). Sexual orientation is closely related to church status, too: while about one-third of heterosexuals are unchurched (31%), half of the homosexual public (49%) met the unchurched criteria.

I've actually been to church within the last three months.  :lol

I dont go.

I went to my friends church once because I was staying with his family at the time and felt obligated. It seemed nice except for the preaching part, which was boring.

Whenever my mother sends my grandmother money she ends up giving it all away to the church.

Yeah, priests aren't good in the sack. Very boring lovers.

I haven't been to church in about 14 years.

I started going every other wednesday or so for the past year.  I feel sorry for children who are forced into the church, although I'm not sure how else people of faith should raise their children.  It's been much more rewarding to get into church on my own terms and take out of religion what I need.

The church we go to is about 1-1.5 hours away.  My father-in-law picks us up in the morning, otherwise we'd go to one more local.

We go so far away because there are only Bapist/Methodist/etc churches up here, as well as all the off shoots. We're non-demoninational (I guess it can be called that).

There aren't many dispensational churches in the US, or anywhere to tell the truth. Especially when compared to Baptist churches. Oh the "debates" I've seen...*shakes head*

my family are all atheists, so fuck no i've never gone to church because of them. i've been to churches just to check them out, or for events like weddings, but i've never willingly gone to a service. it's just a waste of time.

I only go to church for funerals. I'm not religious at all, although I was raised Catholic and made confirmation and communion and all that jazz. I've been to mass a few times before (I had a religious ex who dragged me on occasion) and it was boring as fuck, not to mention the priest was spewing forth all this anti-abortion propaganda.

I am an ex-Catholic altar boy / ex-Mormon / current believer in higher forces, but not organized religion.

So no, I don't go to church.

I go irregularly. Usually when I'm not exhausted/not busy and feeling the pangs of religious guilt. It is becoming increasingly awkward though.

I have literally never "been to church" in the religious/worship sense.  I've gone to churches as like a tourist though.
