“I have no idea” was Nancy Kennedy’s answer in her recent Chronicle’s religious column as to why there are so many Christian denominations. If, however, current statistics and projections hold up from Pew Research and U.S. Religious Census there will be increasingly fewer denominations and fewer Christians. By 2070, the religiously unaffiliated will be the majority, and nondenominational churches will represent the majority within Christianity.
