HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Apr. 23, 2026) – The number of young men in the US who say religion is “very important” in their lives is seeing an up tick.
That’s according to a new Gallup poll, which showed 43 percent of men under 30 describe religion as central to their lives, up from 28 percent in 2023, but only 47 percent of the Americans overall said religion was “very important” to them last year, which is down from 58 percent in 2012. In addition, 24 percent of Americans identified as having no religion, and attendance for religious services has also seen a dip.
