Gen Z men pour into church pews more often than women, flipping the trend on faith: 'What's the Lord doing?
he larger-than-usual supply of young men seated in the pews at Grace Church in Waco, Texas, might be a little surprising to some, especially as reports swirl that Gen Z's faith is dwindling, leaving religious leaders to figure out what to do to bring youngsters back into the fold. A piece recently published in The New York Times offered a glimpse inside the church – a Southern Baptist congregation – where four of the five musicians on stage and the majority of the college students seated in the pews were young men. The scene depicts an emerging trend, the piece says: "For the first time in modern American history, young men are now more religious than their female peers. They attend services more often and are more likely to identify as religious."
Compare that to the number of young women reportedly leaving in droves.
