By the way, that equates to 35 to 40 million Americans.

For comparison, the largest denomination is the Southern Baptist Convention, 12.5 million.

So non-denoms are probably three times the size of the Southern Baptist Convention.

One-third of all Protestants now are non-denominational.

The reason that evangelicalism is still 20% of America today, which is the same size it was 50 years ago, is because of the rise of non-denominationalism.

And there's a couple other small denominations like

The Assemblies of God is like a Pentecostal denomination.

It's grown consistently for the last 50 years.

The Anglican Church, North America, the Presbyterian Church, USA.

But even like we talked about Latter-day Saints, right?

Latter-day Saints, most Latter-day Saints today do not live in the United States.

Only 40%.

of LDS are Americans now.

They're actually seeing a lot more growth in places like Brazil and the Philippines.

So, you know, I can probably count on one hand the number of religious traditions that are growing significantly in America right now, but I could, it would take me an hour to describe you all the religious denomination traditions that are declining.

Why are they growing?

I think they're the most grassroots form of religion you could possibly have.

A lot of these churches were literally started by a guy in his basement having a Bible study with maybe two or three other couples.

And the guy might've been a real estate agent, an insurance broker, you know, construction company guy.

And he just starts a Bible study and then it grows from eight people to 18 people to 800 people.
