The continuing popularity of evangelical Protestantism has emerged as the exception in an otherwise sobering new report this week about Christianity in America.
There were 62 million evangelical Protestants in 2014, about 2 million more than a parallel survey found in 2007, the Pew Research Center said in its Tuesday report, “America’s Changing Religious Landscape.”
Those numbers stood in contrast with an overall shrinking population of Americans who identify as Christians.
