So a white guy who has set himself up as a self-help guru in very white Montana sees a massive uptick in young white male church attendance. At the end, he finally admits that it's a handful of anecdotal conversations, yet never bothers to check the data which is readily available.

What the data shows is that while there's been a weird uptick among US millennials, it's been non-white ones, and that's amidst an ongoing collapse in church attendance, for the obvious reasons that churches ignore or reject reality that's easily discovered and massive swaths of the Christian church embraced Trump.

"Among Millennials specifically, there wasn’t a statistically significant difference between white and non-white attendance in 2019. However, as of 2022, 45 percent of non-white Millennials are attending church weekly, compared to 35 percent of white Millennials.

"When we first recognized the shift in Millennial church attendance, we hoped to answer the question, 'What segment of Millennials could account for this change?'" Copeland shares. "We looked at Millennials from various segmentations—including marital status, current employment, whether or not they have children in the home, etc.—and found that the most clear explanation for this shift sat with non-white Millennials. Studying this data may help leaders recognize either an opportunity or a blind spot in their ministries. While over the past two years many leaders have anticipated church going 'back to normal,' maybe it's time to consider what the new opportunities are in store for the future Church."

The rest of us will watch gratefully as organized religion is reduced to a withered rump of its former self, no longer able to abuse the rights of non-believers by forcing their nonsense upon us.
