Less than half of American adults say religion is important: study
November 19, 2025
Despite less than half of Americans ranking religion as an important part of their daily life, America is still more devout when it comes to religion than its economic peers, such as the United Kingdom or Germany, new data from Gallup shows.
The data, published by Gallup last Thursday, show that the percentage of U.S. adults who say religion is an important part of their daily lives has fallen from 66% in 2015 to 49% today. This 17-point decline ranks among the largest declines in religiosity Gallup has recorded in any country over a 10-year period since 2007.
