According to a new Gallup poll, the percentages of Americans who believe in five religious entities have edged downward by three to five percentage points since 2016. The decline in religious affiliation is not just a matter of do you believe in God or not. Even people who are religious don't sit around thinking about God all the time. They act in God. So if you live in that world, you are living in a religious world. If you acknowledge that, then you might form communities of interest around those values. That's where churches come from. And a client of church is directly correlated to the rise in loneliness because church is where people used to get together.
