Operative words

In addition to the 17% of U.S. attenders who say their congregation currently is closed, another two-thirds say their congregation is now open but only on a modified basis due to the pandemic.... Just 12% of U.S. religious attenders say their congregations are currently open and operating normally, just as they were before the pandemic hit.... [17% of U.S. adults indicate that they have attended religious services in person during the past month,] up modestly but significantly from the 13% who said this in July 2020.
