Factors Leading to Decline in Church Attendance in the Present Age

There are holy places in each religion, where its followers congregate to perform religious rituals such as supplications. Moreover, in these places sermons and religious messages are delivered by clergies and preachers. In Christianity, churches are holy places for worship, supplications, and some of the seven rituals. The following question has concerned clergies and preachers: given widespread evangelical activities of Christianity in many areas of the world, why do Christians show so little tendency to attend such holy places to perform their religious practices and hear religious messages from the clergies? Drawing on a descriptive-analytic method, this research deals with external factors (those outside the Church) and internal factors (those inside the Church), which have led to decline in church attendance.
