WATCH: PRIEST REMAINS HOPEFUL DESPITE DECREASE IN RELIGIOUS AMERICANS"If people are going to be honest about ‘here's what I truly believe in,’ then we as a church can be honest and say, ‘okay, I can speak to that,’" Schmitz said. The Roman Catholic priest from Minnesota rose to prominence in 2021 with the release of his podcast, The Bible in a Year, which consistently ranks at the top of Apple’s Religion & Spirituality charts..
"They’re saying ‘I believe in the same kind of God, but I'm not going to check the box,’" he continued. Despite the drop in Christian affiliation, more than 81% of American adults believe in God, though that's an all-time low,in June. In 2020, more than half said religion can still answer most or all of today's problems.
"One of the big messages of Christianity, particularly for this incredible country of the United States of America, is that we've been blessed with freedom." Schmitz said."We have also been given the responsibility of freedom."
