How the U.S. public became less religious

Nov 3, 2015

Is the American public becoming less religious? Yes, at least by some key measures of what it means to be a religious person. An extensive new survey of more than 35,000 U.S. adults finds that the percentages who say they believe in God, pray daily and regularly go to church or other religious services all have declined modestly in recent years.

But there is also a great deal of stability in the U.S. religious landscape. Religiously affiliated Americans are as observant as they were a few years ago, and in some ways even more devout.
