One Nation, Under God
Briefly

A recent study by Pew Research indicates that while church attendance in America has declined, spiritual beliefs remain strong among adults, with 92% affirming a belief in elements like a soul or an afterlife. Experts suggest that the pandemic may have influenced this stability in spirituality. Notably, the U.S. stands apart from other Western countries in maintaining its religious identity. Influential figures from various sectors, including politics and tech, are also embracing spiritual themes, reflecting a broader cultural engagement with spirituality.
Most Americans, 92 percent of adults, say they hold one or more spiritual beliefs, suggesting that spirituality remains strong in American society despite declining church attendance.
The evidence suggests that America’s secularization is currently on pause, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the enduring nature of American spirituality.
