A new poll shows that Church attendance among American Generation Z has shown signs of stabilizing after years of generational decline.
According to data from Pew Research Center's Religious Landscape Study recently analyzed by Lifeway Research, Overall, 62% of U.S. adults identify as Christian, 28% have no religious affiliation, and 8% belong to other religions.
Monthly religious service attendance now stands at 34% of U.S. adults, consistent with levels observed in recent years.
Prayer frequency and personal importance of religion have also held steady, with 46% reporting daily prayer and 43% saying religion is very important in their lives.
Among Gen Z, those born from 2003 to 2007 report higher levels of religious engagement than slightly older peers born between 1995 and 2002, pointing to a possible shift.
In this group, 61% identify with a religion, 35% pray daily, 37% say religion is very important in their lives, and 41% attend services at least monthly.
However, Conversion patterns show more young adults leaving Christianity than joining it. Among 18 to 34-year-olds, 5% have become Christians after not being raised in the faith, while 26% left Christianity after being raised in it.
Forty-one percent were raised Christian and still identify as such, and 28% have never been Christian.
