Christmas is a religious holiday, but many Americans will celebrate it without going to church.
Nearly half of U.S. adults (48%) say they don’t typically attend church at Christmastime, while 47% say they do, according to a new Lifeway Research study.
As you might predict, Americans’ religious habits during other times of the year influence their religious habits at Christmas: Regular churchgoers are more likely to be in church this month than those who rarely attend a worship service and those who don’t affiliate with a faith group.
