As American adults grew out of Saturday morning cartoons, most also left behind Sunday morning church.
Half of U.S. adults (50%) say they attended religious services every week growing up. And another 17% say they went almost every week. Currently, however, only 22% attend each week, and 9% show up almost that frequently, according to Gallup.
