Church attendance in the U.S. is declining as fewer Americans are attending regular religious services, with less than 30% doing so as of 2023. A significant portion of those now religiously unaffiliated cite their former religion's hostility towards LGBTQ+ Americans as a reason.

Despite the decline, the majority of Americans still identify with a specific religious group, predominantly Christian, although this percentage is decreasing.
