"Something is happening when it comes to religion in America."

"Though more Americans go to church or believe in God than their counterparts in virtually every other Western country, fewer Americans now trust religious institutions. A recent Gallup poll showed that just 44 percent of Americans have a great deal of confidence in "the church or organized religion."

"Ten years from now ... will [Christianity] look like it does today? Probably not. But I think it will thrive and I think it will be strong."

"It's unclear if this is a permanent shift or just a sign of the times, but NPR's religion correspondent Barbara Bradley Hagerty says it doesn't mean that America is less religious."
