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.
