Fewer Americans believe that a more religious country would be a better one than did 13 years ago, a new Gallup poll shows.<\/p>\n

The belief among U.S adults that increased religiosity would have a positive effect on America fell by ten percentage points from 75% to 65% since 2013, according to the poll\u00a0released Tuesday. This drop was largely driven by double digit declines in this sentiment among women and Americans under the age of 54.<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s belief that having more religious people would positively affect society decreased 16% since 2013, while it only fell by 3% for men in the same time period. In 2013, more women believed in religion\u2019s positive impact, with 77% saying increased religiosity was a good thing, while 73% of men agreed. Now, more men believe in religion\u2019s positive impact than women, with only 61% of women saying that it would have a positive impact compared with 70% of men.

Young Americans\u2019 belief in increased religiosity\u2019s positive effect has also fallen by 16 points since 2013. Only 49% of Americans aged 18 to 34 believe in its positive effects in 2026, while 65% believed in them in 2013. The belief that increased religiosity would be positive for the nation also fell significantly for Americans aged 35 to 54, going from 80% in 2013 to 66% in 2026.<\/p>\n

For Republicans, belief in religion\u2019s positive effects on society has risen from 91% to 94%. Democrats\u2019 and independents\u2019 statistics have decreased, Democrats falling from 67% to 51% who believe more religious people would positively impact America, and independents falling from 71% to 59%.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Notably, Catholics bucked the trend of this sentiment declining. Catholics\u2019 belief that increased religiosity would have a positive impact on the nation has risen from 80% to 85% from 2013 to 2o26, while the percentage of Protestant and Nondenominational Christians in America who believe the same has fallen from 88% to 81% in the same time period.<\/p>\n

ReconMR conducted the Gallup poll by surveying a random sample of 1,001 adults from all 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. between May 1-17. The survey was conducted through phone interviews. The poll has a margin error of plus or minus four percentage points.<\/p>\n
