Summary

This Easter Sunday, many churches may find themselves full; however, that’s less and less likely in 2024. Secularism is rising in popularity, as a new Gallup poll finds only three-in-ten U.S. adults actually attend religious services regularly. That number has dropped 42 percent since 20 years ago, leaving many wondering what’s causing Americans to shed their faith. The FOX News Rundown’s Lisa Brady sat down with theologian and Fox News contributor Jonathan Morris to discuss the religious decline in the U.S. and what it says about faith. We made some edits for time, but on the FOX News Rundown Extra, hear the full conversation about how houses of worship are catering to folks experiencing difficult times.
