Young Men Religion Poll

A new Gallup poll shows more young men in the U.S. now say religion is “very important” in their lives compared to young women. This is the first time young men have surpassed young women on this measure of religiosity going back 25 years. The poll found that 42% of young men value religion highly, up from 28% a few years ago. Over the same time, young women’s attachment to religion has stayed low, at about 30%. This trend is unique to Gen Z, as women over 30 are still more religious than men. Experts say this shift could impact societal norms and the future of the church.
