Christians could fall below 50% of the U.S. population by 2070 if recent trends continue, Pew Research Center projects.

Why it matters: In 2020, about 64% of Americans, including children, were Christian, Pew says. People who are religiously unaffiliated — sometimes called religious "nones" — accounted for 30% of the U.S. population.
