In the United States, indicators of religious practice and the importance of religion have remained broadly stable since 2020, according to the Pew Research Center. 18- to 22-year-olds stand out for relatively high attendance at religious services, but less so on other measures of religiosity, the institute reports.

Young Americans aged 18 to 22 stand out for their relatively high attendance at religious services, while they do not stand out clearly on the other indicators of religiosity, according to the Pew Research Center. These indicators include identifying with a religion, daily prayer and the importance attached to religion in personal life.

Since 2020, the proportions of Americans saying they belong to a religion, pray every day, consider religion very important or attend a religious service at least once a month have remained broadly stable, according to the Pew Research Center.
