New Ellison Study on Church Attendance

A new study released Tuesday indicated that most Americans who attended church services as a child indicated that this has had a positive impact on their adult lives. The Ellison study found that 66% of Americans believe attending church or sunday school services prior to age 18 provided a good moral foundation for their adult lives.

On the other hand, 31% of those polled indicated that attending services as a child made them less likely to attend church as an adult.

Interestingly enough, 51% of Americans currently attend religious services once per month or more frequently according to the new study. I would have thought the number would have been higher than that.
