I wonder how many churches will close for good due to covid-19. I know of many businesses that have shut their doors for good. The reason I ask is Many churches that had been very strong, at one time, with lots of people were on the brink of shutting the doors for a lack of interest before covid-19. I wonder what the affects on religion will be in the United States.

Please refrain from posting things like "I hope they all get covid-19" and so forth. This is not about wishing anyone harm or disruption to their daily lives. It is smiply a question about our future.

Nothing will ever drive religion out of business in America or anywhere else. In fact, when the last human being draws his terminal breath he'll be praising God with it.

Lets both hope you are wrong.

Many. Some already have. I have two cousins who are ministers, and they've already seen consolidations. As operating budgets decline, staff are laid off and consolidated with neighboring churches, then the physical plant is not attended to and eventually a church must close its doors. The majority of Protestant churches in this country operate on a shoestring budget with fewer than 100 members each to support them. When large public gatherings are again the norm, many members will need to find themselves a new church to attend and congregation to join.

One poison for another.

Like much of the news, it's just speculation.

Let's wait and see.

I din't lkie to wait while others decide my future(evangelicals in politics). I like to anticipate the future in order to prepare for it. This being said, yes our future is unknown.
