In 2023, **** percent of Americans were unaffiliated with any religion. A further **** percent of Americans were White evangelical Protestants, and an additional **** percent were White mainline Protestants. Religious trends in the United States Although the United States is still home to the largest number of Christians worldwide, the nation has started to reflect a more diverse religious landscape in recent years. Americans now report a wide range of religious beliefs and backgrounds, in addition to an increasing number of people who are choosing to identify with no religion at all. Studies suggest that many Americans have left their previous religion to instead identify as atheist, agnostic, or nothing in particular, with many reasoning that they stopped believing in the religion's teachings, that they didn't approve of negative teachings or treatment of LGBTQ+ people, or that their family was never that religious growing up. Christian controversies Over the last few years, controversies linked to Christian denominations have plagued the nation, including reports of child sexual abuse by the Catholic Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the Southern Baptist Convention. Christian churches have also been accused of supporting discriminatory actions against LGBTQ+ people and people belonging to other religious groups. In addition, there have been increasing concerns about Christian nationalism, the political ideology that asserts that America was founded to be a Christian nation. Although the majority of Americans still think that declaring the United States a Christian nation would go against the U.S. Constitution, studies found that most Republicans would be in favor of this change.

Since 2010, the researchers on this project have been gathering information on over 250 congregations and over 500 sites related to religious and ethnic groups who settled in several neighborhoods in the Twin Cities from approximately 1849, when the Territory of Minnesota was established, until 1924 when the federal government closed off immigration to the United States. The neighborhoods initially selected for this study fan out from the Mississippi River, the area where settlements were initially established and the corridor that connects the two cities. Thus, the river serves as the project’s geographical link. While the study initially focused on houses of worship (churches and synagogues) as a means to explore the complexity of religious life and ethnic interaction during this period in the Twin Cities as new immigrants acclimate themselves to the region, we soon realized that other sites needed to be included as well: specifically, places where these diverse people found solace among like-minded individuals, such as social clubs and ethnic/religious institutions, and places where they had to intermingle and interact with the “other,” folks whose beliefs, cultures and languages differed from theirs. These latter places include settlement houses, schools, playgrounds and athletic fields, and hospitals. As a result, the website allows exploration of a number of topics: community creation, ethnicity and identity, relationships among congregations, intra-congregational interactions, the role of houses of worship, and social class structures. Tools provided here include information on individual Christian and Jewish congregations (click above on Browse) photographs on houses of worship, and an interactive map depicting the location of congregations over time (click above on Geography). The project goal is to document for future generations the legacy of the historic neighborhoods that were once home to their forbearers.
