Christianity projected to lose majority status among Americans by 2070, Pew model projects [View all]

Projections indicate Christians could lose majority status in the United States by 2070, according to modeling released by the Pew Research Center Tuesday.

The study modeled four different hypothetical scenarios, each one representing a different rate of “switching,” which the Pew Research Center defined “as a change between the religion in which a person was raised (in childhood) and their present religious identity (in adulthood).”

Pew said its models examined a scenario in which switching rates remain the same, two scenarios in which switching rates speed up, and one scenario in which switching rates halt completely.

The number of Americans who identify as agnostic, atheist or don't affiliate with a particular religion has grown dramatically since the 1990s, according to the research center.
