Gallup finds surge in religiosity among young men in US

There has been a sharp rise in the share of men under 30 who say that religion is “very important” to them, from 28pc in 2023 to 42pc last year, according to a new Gallup poll.

The survey, which combined polling data across multiple years, adds more evidence to the claim that there is a religious revival among Gen-Z adults.

The poll also found a surprising gender gap: while 42pc of men aged 18 to 29 said religion is very important to them, this compared with 29pc of women of the same age cohort. This gap reverses what used to be a greater interest in religion among women.
