Growing Number Of U.S. Adults Don't Go To Church
A new survey suggests that the number of American adults who don't go to church has risen to 75 million -- more than a-third of the U.S. adult population.
The Barna Research poll defines non-churchgoers as those who haven't attended a worship service -- other than a wedding or funeral, Christmas or Easter -- during the past six months.
The survey found that the unchurched are more likely to be young, male and single than born-again adults.
But the Barna researchers were surprised to find that 17 percent of unchurched adults say they've accepted Jesus Christ as their savior.
