Catholic schools in Syracuse, NY, are closing and so have several churches. The non-denominational churches are growing by leaps and bounds.
.[ I grew up in Syracuse and can attest to what you posted.
It is fact.
Furthermore, here in NJ I meet many, many ex-Catholics who are Conservative and have chosen to join Evangelical churches.
These are usually younger families.
The older couples tend to remain Catholic, but they have great criticisms of the church and seem bitter.
These are only my personal observations, and are not "fact."
