My pastor said their church attendance is down 30% from before the Covid lock-downs started, and they no longer stream services! My church has moved from 2 services to one, and no sign it will return.
It seems it is actually the young that are not returning to church.
If lower church attendance was the goal of the DS, then mission accomplished. :(
Church I've been going to has grown during covid, and I know of one more that has grown even more and it's been pretty vocal against lockdowns.
Lots of people go to church as a sort of social event first so maybe it's good that is exposed. Minor note but when I was looking for a church I found some crazy nice places with coffee bars and smoke machines but the preaching was never convicting and always topical.
