Modeling the decline of American Christianity

What does America look like if the decline in Christian belief continues? What might this mean for higher education?

I’ve been tracking this religious trend for a while (2021, 2019, 2017). Today I’d like to follow up with a new Pew study, which models several possible scenarios for American religious transformation. As a futurist who tracks religion, but is not a religion scholar, I found the work fascinating and useful. It’s a good example of evidence-based trend analysis, extrapolation, and scenario development.
