Americanii la Biserică

Weekly church attendance among adults in the United States is 43.1%, according to Gallup.

If extrapolated to include children, the number of Americans attending regular church services weekly could be as high as 134.86 million people out of the 312.9 million people in America.

Of that number, the Barna Group says 15% of adults, or 36.61 million people, also regularly go to Sunday School on a typical Sunday, and at least 19% of adults, or 46.37 million people, donate some of their time weekly to serving at a church.

This compares to only 24.58 million people, including children and adults, who went to the movies in a typical week in 2011 in both the United States and Canada, according to ticket sales information culled from Variety, the main trade paper for the entertainment industry.

  1. Da si la biserica mai merg pe internet… tot mai des.

  2. Cred ca au folosit ca si criteriu: „Ce-i face pe oameni să plece de acasă undeva?“ Nu știu dacă s-a luat sau dacă s-ar fi putut lua în calcule televizorul (unde se pot vedea programe de biserici sau filme).
    Repet, nu știu …
    Foarte pertinentă însă curiozitatea ta.

  3. Interesanta statistica ,Daniel.
    As fi curios; oare cum e la noi unde MOVIES sunt foarte accesibile -financiar vorbind- la televizor?
