Survey: Americans’ Belief in God, Heaven at Lowest Point in 22 Years

Just 59% of 18- to 34-year-olds in the U.S. say they believe in God, a prime factor in the decline of overall belief in God from 90% in 2001 to 74% in May, a Gallup poll shows.

Overall belief in God, angels, heaven, hell and the devil, which Gallup termed the five “spiritual entities,” has reached its lowest point in 22 years, according to survey results released Thursday.

In its May survey, Gallup’s fifth since 2001, 69% percent overall said they believe angels are real, down 12 percentage points since the start of this century.

Sixty-seven percent overall said they believe in heaven, a 16-point drop from 2001, and 59% said they believe in hell, down 12 points from 2001.

Fifty-eight percent expressed belief in the devil, a 10-percentage-point decline over the 22-year period. (Read more from “Survey: Americans’ Belief in God, Heaven at Lowest Point in 22 Years” HERE)
