Study reveals that 2 out of 10 adults have abandoned the faith they grew up in: Christianity and Buddhism most affected

In some regions, such as India, Israel, Nigeria, and Thailand, religious stability remains strong, with over 95% of adults continuing to identify with the faith they grew up in. However, in parts of East Asia, Western Europe, and the Americas, religious shifts are far more common. For example, nearly half of adults in South Korea (50%) and over a third in the Netherlands (36%) and the United States (28%) no longer adhere to their childhood religion.
