This book examines the state of Christianity in the United States,
considering trends in religious beliefs and affiliation over the
last forty years. It seeks to explain why so many of America's
largest denominations have witnessed such a dramatic decline during
this period. It argues that, although there are many elements to
this decline, the shrinking families of Americans-including
American Christians-are a primary explanation for our aging and
shrinking Christian congregations. Beyond establishing this
explanation for organized decline, this book also offers a survey
of the relevant research explaining why more and more Americans are
deferring family formation and having fewer (in many cases, zero)
children. It discusses the relevant social science research on this
subject, which focuses heavily on the role of economic change. It
also summarizes the relevant research on cultural change and the
family, particularly the relationship between religious beliefs and
activities and changing family norms.
