WEIRD CHRISTIANS

Unchurched Americans think Christians are weird, but it’s not for the reason you might think. Fifty-seven percent of the unchurched wonder why Christian friends and neighbors never talk with them about spiritual matters. To the majority of those outside the church, believers are weird because they DON’T share their faith. Only 21% of active church-going Christians invited someone to church last year, so apparently most of them still believe the myth that unchurched people will think you’re weird if you DO talk with them about spiritual issues.
