Update on Virtual Worship in the U.S. During COVID-19
Reading now: 332
We are starting to get new data measuring the possible impact of the coronavirus situation on religious behavior in this country.
Gallup's April 14-28 survey finds 27% of Americans reporting having worshipped virtually within the past seven days. Another 4% claim to have worshipped in person, despite the coronavirus restrictions in place in most states.The combined total of 31% who have worshipped within the past seven days either virtually or in person is roughly in line with recent, pre-virus trends.
This tracks with what I reported in 2001 and 2008 -- little lasting change in general worship behavior after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the beginning of the Great Recession.
