Church attendance below pre-pandemic levels: Gallup
U.S. church attendance has declined by an average of four points since before the pandemic, with current levels around 10 percentage points lower than in prior years.
The pandemic may have contributed to the decline in attendance, with many Americans getting out of the habit of attending religious services weekly due to temporary church closures and ongoing COVID-19 avoidance.
While churchgoers are mainly back in person, attendance rates since 2020 are lower among nearly every major subgroup, including Republicans, Democrats, Protestants, and Catholics.
