Are We More Religious Now Than Ever?
A study from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary says the world is more religious than 40 years ago and the percentage of atheists is dropping.
The world is more religious today than 40 years ago, according to a recent study by Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
The Hamilton-based seminary said in the study that the percentage of the world that is religious continues to increase, according to a report by Christian Post.
The study, titled "Christianity In Its Global Context, 1970-2010," came from the seminary's Center for the Study of Global Christianity.
The study said the growth of religion is largely happening a world away - in China.
Do you think there is a growth in religion locally? Are Hamilton and Wenham residents as religious, or more religious, than they were 40 years ago? Let us know in the comments.
