Only 37% of US churches holding in-person services are following this key CDC guideline

Since the coronavirus pandemic began in March, religion in the US has seemed a helter-skelter mix of legal disputes and defiant pastors, altered rites and sanctuaries as sites of contagion.

But that picture hides a broad consensus about what congregations should be and are doing during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new survey by the Pew Research Center. Just 12% of Americans said they attended a house of worship from mid-June to mid-July. That's down from a Gallup poll last year that found 34% of Americans said they had attended a religious service in the past week.More than half who regularly attend religious services say their congregation is open.

The CDC recommends that organizations"consider temporarily suspending singing, chanting, or shouting during events especially when participants are in close proximity to each other.

Sad 😞 people need to listen 👂🏼 to the experts and protect their congregations

So what about the John Lewis funeral? That’s exempt right? Because there was no social distancing and their was communal singing there. Strange

PORTLAND: rioters throw smoke bombs and fireworks to stop police from advancing Remember when the mayor said the riots were caused by a federal presence? Well we officially know that narrative was a lie Day 72 and the madness continues

Too bad, because that's just plain lunacy and irresponsibility!!!

As compared to the yelling at the riots?

God works in mysterious ways 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ignorance will be your downfall 🙄

Think of it as a protest chant. That should make you feel better.

Neither has antifariots

Am I missing something here would loud street chanting in close quarters of each other be considered discharging the virus into the air also. Seems that didn’t make the news.

Once again confirming that the religious aren't terribly smart.

THIS ELECTION ON NOV. 3RD WILL GIVE ME AND MY FOLKS A CLEAR CUT NUMBERS STANDPOINT OF HOW MANY RACIST ARE IN AMERICA 100% ANYBODY CAN SAY THEY ARE NOT RACIST BUTT IF YOU VOTE FOR A KNOWN RACIST AMONG OTHER THINGS THEN WELL....REMEMBER WE CAN GET THE BREAKDOWN !!!!

Lekker doorgaan zo!

Are you serious CNN!!!! Like riots, spitting on people’s faces aren’t worse. Why you are not reporting that. fakenews as always! 👎🏽

Who would’ve ever thought church and pandemic would be in same sentence.

the communists MUST close the churches, and confiscate all guns!

The supreme court rules 50 people max in a church but casinos can have 500 max. Bit of bullshit if you ask me.

OMG, obviouslyyyyyy.....

I also noticed no Social Distancing at the protests or face masks, but of course those are ok, right CNN? 🙄..but let’s pick on churches! Fakenews Morons!!

The reason they go is because the Bible doesn't support science. But the Holy Koran does believe in science. Think about that.

Can you guys just cease your operations already?

A new survey finds that most liberals want to wipe away Christianity and promote sharia law, Non-nuclear families, and millions of late stage abortions as a form of birth control.

is that crowd proximity or protester proximity I don't think fauchi wanted to clarify the two are one in the same.

A parishioner responded that, 'God must hear us sing, or he won't know we're in Church and we won't get credit!!'

Bugger off!!!

Mom attends a Catholic church in St. Louis County. I was shocked when 3 weeks ago the priest told the parishioners once they were in their pew they could REMOVE THEIR MASKS & put them back on when they went to communionon. I told her he is not a doctor & not to listen to him.

CNN hates prayer
