Recent surveys indicate the decades-long ebb in religious observance has finally bottomed out. Last month, Pew Research released data indicating that the declining share of self-identified Christians in America has stabilized around 62 percent. Other surveys have found that young men especially are taking up more seats in the pews, with many seeking out the more traditional practices of the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox communions.
