U.S. Protestants Lose Majority Status

Histoire TLES: Religion et société aux USA





For the first time in its history, the United States does not have a Protestant majority, according to a new study.

 

Interestingly, this is not due to the rise of a new religious group, but the rise of secularism in the United States. The fastest growing group in the United States is the religiously unaffliliated. Click here for a simplified AP news story on the report. 

 

Questions to ponder: What are some causal factors that might explain why there is an increase in the non-religious population in the United States today? How does this impact American culture and politics?

And the report outlines that since 2010 (when the chart data ends) Protestants have continued to lose members.

America's Most (and Least) Religious Metro Areas

America's Most (and Least) Religious Metro Areas | Histoire geo Terminale (programmes 2012) | Scoop.it
From www.theatlanticcities.com - April 8, 3:22 AM
Provo, Utah, and Burlington, Vermont, represent opposite ends of the U.S. religiosity spectrum.

Seth Dixon's curator insight, April 7, 11:07 AM

The majority of the most religious metros are concentrated in the South or Utah.  This particular weekend, many of the rythmns of urban life in Utah cities are remarkably visible as the LDS church holds it's semi-annual General Conference.  On the opposite side of spectrum, 5 of the 10 least religious metros are in New England; the west coast is the other center of diminished religiosity (with a mini-center in Colorado). 


Questions to ponder: What cultural patterns help to partially explain the levels of religiosity in the United States?  What other factors explain the patterns of religiosity in your in your local area?

Seth Dixon's curator insight, March 4, 10:00 AM

This video does have a political bent that may or may not reflect your views, but it nicely lays out data that graphically represents the economic differences that we see in the United States today.  Our perception is as skewed as what is and what we think it should be.
