Role of Religion in Public Life in America
A Pew Research Center survey shows that a record high number of Americans believe the role of religion in public life is shrinking, with most viewing this as negative. There is widespread unease with religion's trajectory in American life, even among non-religious individuals. While some warn of a dangerous rise in 'Christian nationalism,' others advocate for promoting Christian moral values without declaring the country a Christian nation. The decline in religion in public life is seen as detrimental to character building and societal stability.
