Belief in God in U.S. down to 81%, a New Low




Belief in God has reached a new low in the U.S., with only 81 percent saying they believe, according to a new Gallup poll. 

The survey, asked 1,007 American adults in May if they believe in God, with 81 percent saying they do, a 6 percent decrease from the 87 percent who said yes in 2017, the last time the poll was conducted. 


About 17 percent told Gallup they did not believe, while the remaining 2 percent said they were unsure.  


Among the key findings in the poll was that young adults accounted for the growing decrease in belief. 

The latest poll showed only 68 percent of those between 18 to 29 years old said they believe in God, down 10 percent from 2017. 


While the younger people represented the greatest change, a belief in God is down among every demographic.
