US EditionReligion Holds Steady in America
Pew analysis shows about 70% of U.S. adults identify with a religion, with stable religiousness measures despite generational shifts and no nationwide revival detected.
- Pew Research Center reported on Dec. 8 that U.S. religious affiliation remains stable, with no evidence of a nationwide revival, based on the 2023-24 U.S. Religious Landscape Study of 36,908 adults.
- Analysts note cohort replacement explains long-term declines as older birth cohorts, born 1954 or earlier, yield to less religious younger birth cohorts, born 1995–2007; Pew Research Center says since 2020, about 70% identify with a religion, marking recent stability.
- Among young adults, Pew finds 55% identify with a religion, while practice measures like prayer , importance of religion , and monthly attendance remain steady.
- Campus ministries report Dan Allan of Cru sees renewed interest with retreats attracting nearly 17,000 students this year, and the Every Campus partnership now includes more than 100 groups, yet Pew finds Christianity loses more members nationally.
- Professor Ryan Burge warned the current stability is 'the calm before the storm,' as Pew Research Center projections foresee just over half religious, with about 45% Christians and 10% other faiths, while the gender gap reflects declining religiosity among women.
