According to a research study done in January by the Pew Research Center on public approval ratings for news media and religious organizations, “Millennials’ rating of churches and other religious organizations has dipped by 18 percentage points. About 55 percent now say churches have a positive impact on the country compared with five years ago, when nearly three-quarters (73 percent) said this.” Over the course of five years (2010-2015), this 55percent represents an all-time low for Millennial approval ratings of religious organizations. In contrast to the other generations, which all showed increased positivity toward churches and religious organizations, the Millennial Generation was a stark contrast of decline.
