Pew Research studies show American religion is stable overall since 2020, with about 70% identifying with a religion, though Christianity’s share continues a long-term decline but is leveling off, while the religiously unaffiliated (nones) grow.
Key findings from the 2023-24 Religious Landscape Study reveal that 62% of U.S. adults are Christian (down from 78% in 2007), with Catholics and Protestants shifting, but trends vary by demographics like age, gender, and ethnicity, with immigrants significantly impacting non-Christian faiths.
While Christianity shrinks, more Americans view religion’s influence positively, and religious “switching” (changing faiths) is common, with 35% of adults changing identities from childhood.
