More young men report that they attend churches or other houses of worship at least monthly, according to a Gallup poll released Thursday, one of several indicators that group of Americans may be bucking broader trends as religiosity among most people in the United States remains at historic lows. Forty percent of men ages 18 to 29 attend religious services monthly or more often — around a seven percentage point increase from 2022-2023, and the highest percentage who have reported doing so since 2012-2013, the Gallup report found. Gallup surveyed 26,601 American adults on this question from 2024 to 2025, including 1,905 men younger than 30.

America's young men are increasingly turning to religion and professing that it is taking a more central role in their lives, according to a new Gallup poll. The poll released Wednesday found that 42% of men under 30 years old now profess that religion is "very important" to them. That number is up from 28% from a poll conducted in 2023. The data is also significant in showing a reversal of the traditional gender gap in religiosity. For older age groups, women consistently report higher levels of religiosity than men, but women in the under-30 group have remained with just 30% saying religion is "very important."

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Driven by a recent increase, young men in the U.S. have now surpassed young women in saying religion is "very important" in their lives. Gallup's latest data, from 2024-2025, show 42% of young men saying religion is very important to them, up sharply from 28% in 2022-2023. By contrast, during this period, young women's attachment to religion has held steady at about 30%. Although young men had previously tied young women on this key marker of religiosity, young men now lead by a statistically significant margin. The recent increase among young men also contrasts with minimal changes since 2022-2023 among older men and women. With the recent surge in their attachment to religion, young men have returned to the high point of their expressed religiosity of the past 25 years, roughly tying the 43% found in 2000-2001. By contrast, women of all age groups and older men are at or near their historical lows.
