The Christian Post – The Northeastern U.S., once known as a bulwark of Puritans and other strict Christian sects, now dominates the top 10 list of the most post-Christian cities, according to a report by the Barna Group.
The report released Wednesday drew from data based on interviews with 21,378 adults over a 10-year period that concluded in April 2018, with a sampling error of plus-or-minus 0.7-percent. The cities were listed in geographic area classifications known as Designated Market Areas, a term developed by The Nielsen Company to define a local media market.
Springfield-Holyoke, Mass., ranked as the most post-Christian city in America, with 66-percent of the surveyed population fitting Barna’s definition for the term.
