Keeping the Faith, But Not in Church

We tend to think of teenagers as a particularly pagan bunch. A poll by Barna Research finds, however, that Americans are most likely to stray from religious practice when in their late 20s. Among respondents in the 20-29 bracket, 31 percent reported attending religious services in the previous week, vs. 42 percent of those in their 30s and 49 percent of those 40 and older. The figure was even lower (22 percent) for respondents age 25-29.
