Editor's note:
The drop is blamed on Covid-19 and also infighting in the church over nationalist tendencies and support for Donald Trump and the Trumpists.

There are about 14 million Southern Baptists in 2020 down from 16.3 million in 2006 when George W. Bush was president.
By way of comparison, Unitarian Universalists has less than 200,000 members in the U.S, currently.
