- Americans are running away from church – USA Today https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2024/05/28/church-attendance-social-isolation-community-engagement/73704566007/
“A decade ago, 63% of Americans cited religion as the most or one of the most important things in their lives; now, that number stands at 52%.”
There is a direct correlation between church attendance and fertility rates. The states with the highest church attendance also have the highest births rates. These are people whose lives are guided by a higher power. As such, they believe they have a responsibility to more than themselves.
- Michigan population predicted to decline by hundreds of thousands – WXPR
“Overall, the state’s population is expected to drop by about 700,000 in 26 years. There are now more Michigan residents age 55 and older than residents under 25.” In part, this is due to outflow to more conservative areas. But it also reflects an anti-child attitude fostered by blue state elites.
