Infographics: God loses the hearts of Americans
Residents of the United States are becoming less and less religious, judging by such indicators as church attendance, daily prayers and faith in God. These are the results of a study on the basis of the American organization 2014. Pew Research Centerwhich is engaged in opinion polls.
This trend is becoming more pronounced, especially among young people, who have become less likely to attend religious services. The proportion of young people who pray daily has fallen to 2007% since 39, although for the older generation (born 1928-1945) daily prayer is obligatory in 67% of cases.
Moreover, only half of those born from 1990 to 1996 are absolutely confident in their faith in God, while the share of completely believing older people is 71%.
The number of adult Americans who admit that they believe in God has decreased to 2014% by year (89% in 2007). However, this figure is still high in comparison with other developed countries.
At least 77 percent of respondents continue to identify with any religious faith. According to the Pew Research Center, two thirds of religiously affiliated adults said they pray daily and that religion is very important in their lives.
Experts of the organization associate a sharp reduction in the number of believing Americans with atheists who do not recognize connections with any of the religions, but so far in any case are in the United States in the minority.
