Gallup: Young Americans Increasingly Reject Religion

The Hill reports:

The Gallup polling analysis, released Thursday, shows that 70 percent of adults in the U.S. said over the last year that they have a religious preference — but that share is falling across all age demographics. About 34 percent of Gen Z respondents, born between 1997 and 2006, and 30 percent of millennial respondents, born between 1981 and 1996, said they are not religious.

Meanwhile, just 8.5 percent of respondents in the Silent Generation, those born before 1946; 13.2 percent of baby boomers (born 1946-1964); and 18.6 percent of Generation X (born 1965-1980) said they were not religious, per the survey. The number of Americans overall who are not religious, according to the pollster, has nearly tripled when compared to 2000, from 8 percent to 22 percent.
