Where Did All The Catholics Go?

Couple of interesting tweets from political scientist Ryan Burge, who studies religion as an academic, and is also a Baptist pastor. He’s an interesting person to follow on Twitter — @ryanburge:

I know, the nones are growing rapidly.

But, the share of evangelicals who are going to church weekly or more has never been higher – same for mainline Protestants.

There’s been no real shifts among black Protestants.

The real decline is Catholics – 45% in 1970’s, 25% today. pic.twitter.com/Dst7ORGt42
