The American religious landscape has changed dramatically over the past several decades. While regular church, synagogue and mosque attendance has been on the decline since the late 1970s, a Pew Research Center study this year has found that the biggest generational dropoff has occurred with millennials -- young adults born between 1981 and 1996. Special correspondent Cat Wise reports on why.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I enjoyed this read,. It was enlightening to me. However, as splintered as the Christian Faith, as well as the entire religious parade, I still truly believe in Jehovah God, Jesus the Messiah, the Guidance of the Holy Spirit. I have become disillusioned by what many Christians say and do. But I truly believe in the power of JEHOVAH and trust that at the end of days my faith is real.

CPT Jack Durish
Unfortunately, the good PO1 Nagel has chosen to ban me from his discussions, so I'll just respond to you. Nothing in this report is cause for concern. Indeed, it is reflective of the search for comfort that has continued since time immemorial. Even atheists travel this road with us. And troubled times such as we are living today makes this search more urgent. Ultimately, you will discover that you are not alone and that is a key element in living a happy life

CPT Jack Durish it is for sure that dangerous, unsure times draws the hearts of humans across the earth to speak on a higher power.it took half of my life to realize that the finite mind of man would become wanton when the infinite mind of Jehovah will have the supreme answer. I hope "this too shall pass", and you and PO1 William "Chip" Nagel will have good stimulating exchanges once again.

Millennials are not the only ones leaving. I copied this from a friend who just recently posted this...."I have spent 37 years of my life as an ordained minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. I am most grateful for the openness, flexibility, and opportunity to find my voice among the various churches I have served. And these very same communities have helped me clarify why I no longer consider myself a Christian."
