I’m curious what will happen to churches once boomers go. Maybe some millennials will keep it alive, but I can’t imagine many zoomers will. At least not Christian ones. Though in my experience, white zoomers tend to be more atheist while black and Latino zoomers are genuine believers. Asian zoomers are a tossup, unless they’re Muslim in which case they tend to be believers, but the type to eat meat (non pork) without really worrying about whether it was made halal (i.e. eating burgers and chicken at fast food restaurants). Though all but the Muslim zoomers I’ve known tend to be indifferent or supportive of progressive policies
My parents were recently lamenting all of the recently shuttered very large churches in the metro Atlanta area following a road trip a while back… I found it very hard not to laugh out loud at their sentiment. Would sure be a shame if a lot of them became low income housing or concert venues or direct action HQs.

I won’t be alive to see it, but Christianity will become a minority demographic in the US by 2070.
Hallelujah!
