Adults 23-26 are America’s least religious age group: Study

(NewsNation) — More U.S. adults are attending religious services than during the pandemic, but the country’s youngest adults differ on religion depending on when they were born, according to new surveys conducted by the Pew Research Center.

Among adults ages 18-22, around 41 percent said they attend services at least once or twice a month, compared with 33 percent of all U.S. adults. But among those slightly older, between the ages of 23-26, that share is 27 percent, among the lowest of any group.

Attendance is up, but signs of religious revival limited

The findings come amid media reports of a possible religious revival among young Americans, especially young conservative men. An April Gallup poll showed more young men in the U.S. saying religion was “very important” in their lives than young women. President Trump has also often spoken of a revival in religiosity among young people in the U.S.

According to Pew, there was a sharp rise in the share of U.S. adults who said religion was gaining influence in American life between 2024 and 2025.
