How often do you attend Church and of what denomination? In your country have you noticed a resurgence in young people attending Church service?
For me I was raised attending church and then aged out of it, but now my wife and I really enjoy attending every Sunday. Are young people in other western countries filling the pews again?

They aren't. There is no religious revival, the only thing the youth care about is not being chopped and shit.

Absolutely not. It's been a slow decline with big spurts whenever a new child abuse scandal drops. Now more than 50% of marriages don't involve any religious ceremony at all.

The zoomer christian revival seems to be a little exaggerated and based on skewered stats. It's mostly just individuals and churches self-reporting.

My wedding was not in a church but we had an ordained minister carry it out. At our church we attend what they call the "lamp lighter service " which is a Sunday evening service, and we have noticed this service attracts more of the young people. We have even seen second gen Muslim immigrants sitting in on our services. This is in Toronto.

Perhaps the hype about the resurgence of church attendance is "over blown" but that doesn't mean it is not happening

Says the poster from an Islamic country. I'm in my 30s and many of my peers have returned to regular Church service and adhere to the teachings of Christ

I live near a ch*rch that was so obnoxious with the amplified sound bells disturbing everyone that it was eventually buck broken by the locals and now there are no bell sounds at all.

Not sure if I buy that to be honest. We've seen a similar sort of resurgence in the 1950s and what's happening now mirrors that to largely the same extent. Church attendance is a different story altogether with stats being all over the place but wouldn't surprising if exaggerated. Then again, it might be relevant to bring up participation in civil society and civil institutions whether that be the church, clubs, or whatever else has been in decline decades, since latter half of 1990s actually.

Funnily enough, as much as it might not seem to be the case because of what you see in pop culture and movies, there was actually a similar decline during the 1960s and '70s which then reversed and then ballooned at the late tail end of the 1970s going into the 1980s, which lasted for about a decade and a half. So it might not be unimaginable to see a similar thing happen today.

The new religion is Holocaust worship, it has completely supplanted Christianity since WW2

The earlier part of your post with respect to civil institutions is certainly true. The internet in a way has alienated the younger generations from their own communities, and in response, people have re-engaged in traditional communities such as church or clubs

I don't attend Church nor do I consider myself Christian, but I like Sacred Music like this

Does that count?

I went to a Sunday service for the first time recently for my niece's christening and was expecting some interesting passages from the bible and how they apply to modern life, instead it was basically two hours of Christian karaoke broken up with some boring uninsightful screed about how Jesus loves us that may as well been in a YouTube comment section. Completely pointless and banal

I think this whole "CHRISTIANITY IS EXPERIENCE NEW HEIGHTS PEOPLE ARE RETURNING TO THEIR ROOTS" is unironically propaganda by christians coping about losing their relevance. I do not knowna single devout christian under 40. Statistics also keep dropping.
