Young men are now more likely than young women in the US to say religion plays a major role in their lives, according to the newest findings from Gallup.

Data covering 2024-25 indicates that 42% of men aged 18 to 29 describe religion as very important to them, a significant rise from 28% in 2022-23. In comparison, young women’s responses have remained largely unchanged over the same period, holding at roughly 30%.
