Adults in America change their religious affiliation often, according to a study from the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. The study concluded that 44 percent of people no longer worship in the denomination of their childhood. The report said Catholics often leave because they disagreed with Vatican teachings, but most Protestants changed denominations to simply attend other churches

Comment: Churches should be glad they are still going to church and not be alarmed by people changing. But regarding the point of the article, Pastors are becoming far more ingenuous and much more accommodating. Do you agree?
