Nonprofit Communio released a study suggesting the collapse of marriage and resident fathers has led to skyrocketing loneliness and 'the unraveling of Christianity' in the U.S.
of 19,000 Sunday church attendees while they were attending services at 112 evangelical, Protestant and Roman Catholic churches. While it found that just 22% of regular churchgoers are lonely, the study noted"a substantial gap between married, cohabiting, and single Sunday churchgoers in feelings of loneliness.
Loneliness is less among regular churchgoers, but remains highest among churchgoers in their 30s who have never married. "What we're seeing in the study is that the net effect of all of that is the crisis of loneliness; that the most lonely people walking around in our churches, in our communities, are actually not the elderly or widows. It's men and women in their 30s, who in every other time period — almost every other decade before this century — would have been overwhelmingly likely to be married.
"They're not today, and as a consequence, they are also the among the loneliest Americans," he added. Nearly two-thirds of men and women in their 30s who never married were considered lonely, according to the study, which notes that percentage is higher than among widows.
