More US young men than young women say religion is important to them

A recent Gallup survey found that more young men than young women in the United States now consider religion important in their lives. The data for 2024-2025 indicates that 42% of men aged 18 to 29 describe religion as very important, a notable increase from 28% in 2022-2023. In contrast, young women's responses remained largely consistent, with approximately 30% reporting religion as very important over the same period. This marks a shift where young men are now more likely than young women to view religion as central to their lives.
