It's Easter weekend, and it's a safe bet a lot of Coloradans will be at church — or at the 77th annual Easter Sunrise Service at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, which starts at 6am Sunday.
Yes, but: The majority won't be. 57% of Centennial State adults say they never or seldom attend church or religious services, compared to the national average of 49%.
That's according to a new analysis of Household Pulse Survey data.
By the numbers: 19% of Colorado residents attend services 12 or more times a year, 10% attend 1-3 times and 5% attend 4-11 times annually.
The big picture: More than three-quarters of Americans say religion's role in public life is shrinking, per a recent Pew Research Center survey — the highest level since the group first started tracking such sentiment in 2001.
Many Americans are unhappy about that, with about half of adults telling Pew both that "religion is losing influence and that this is a bad thing."
