Nearly half of U.S. Christians don’t attend church, State of the Bible finds

Nearly half of American Christians, 45 percent, have not attended church in the past six months, the American Bible Society said in its latest release from the 2025 State of the Bible. About two-thirds of American adults – 64 percent – say they are Christian, but of those only 55 percent attend church, ABS said Aug. 14 in releasing its fifth chapter of the study. In its fifth chapter, ABS polled church attendees to determine levels of church engagement, viewed as involvement in the life, mission and community of a local church.
