Justin Brierley believes there’s a surprising rebirth in the belief in God—he’s hosted conversations between people of very different faiths for years, and he think’s something’s happening, but many critics and statisticians disagree. What’s Brierley’s response to this skepticism?

Great discussion. As an Australian I see so many churches looking to the US for church growth, evangelism, worship, strategies. The fact is that the US is culturally and politically very different to rest of the Christian church in the rest of the world. It's also very different to the rest of the 'western nations'

I just had a conversation with a couple today at church that matched Brierley’s description. Grew up atheist/humanist and are considering church after reading Jordan Peterson.

I don’t remember this detail…In the polling, are the Gen Z self-reporting church attendance? I ask because as a college professor I hear college students referring to doing “research” on sources like social media, listening to YouTube or podcasts; they liken it to the rigor of academic research. So, is the increased “church attendance” refer to that they are watching/consuming online church services, versus attending in person; thus, the discrepancy in what “counting churches” are seeing?
