REPORT: Church attendance among Gen Z has quadrupled in the UK, reversing the trend of declining Christian affiliation. Gen Zers, many of whom didn’t even grow up in the church, say Christianity is providing them with answers they can’t find anywhere else. “In 2018, just 4% of 18–24-year-olds said that they attended church at least monthly. Today, says The Quiet Revival, this has risen to 16% with young men increasing from 4% to 21%, and young women from 3 to 12%,” Bible Society reported. “On some metrics, this data says that young people are actually more likely to be weekly religious attendees than millennials are,” said former pastor Ryan Burge to Vox. “This is huge, we’ve never seen that before. We always assumed religion’s going to continue to decline, and it doesn’t look like that decline is continuing.” According to the New York Times, the Catholic Church has baptized over 17,000 people in France, the highest yearly number in over 20 years.
