Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis commissioned America’s Research Group to investigate why young people leave the church. The findings are published in Ken Ham’s new book Already Gone. Some insights include:

Among 20- to 29-year-old evangelicals

95% attended church regularly during elementary school

95% attended church regularly during middle school>>

40% first had doubts about the Bible in middle school

55% attended church regularly during high school>>

43.7% first had doubts about the Bible in high school

11% attended church regularly during college>>

10% first had doubts about the Bible in college

Oddly, the study discovered that those who attended Sunday school (61%) are actually more likely than non-attendees (39%):
to not believe that all the accounts and stories in the Bible are true
to doubt the Bible because it was written by men
to defend keeping abortion legal
to accept the legalization of gay marriage
to believe in evolution
to believe that good people don’t need to go to church
