Another regular reminder of how much social media companies have killed "linking out" This is the composition of my traffic to yesterday's Substack post. It was .73% from social media. 62 clicks from Facebook. 33 clicks from Twitter. 7 from Bluesky. 2 from LinkedIn.

In 1972, the most popular response option to a question about religious attendance was 'weekly' - 41% of the sample. In 2024, it was 'never attending' - 29% of the sample. Interesting fact: In 2018, never attenders started outnumbering weekly attenders for the first time.

This statement is NOT empirically supported: Young men are more religious than young women. This statement IS empirically supported: The religious gender gap among younger adults appears to have disappeared. I am getting a lot of media inquires about this.
