FAITH & GOD BY THE NUMBERS
The vast majority of U.S. adults believe in God, but the 81% who do so is down six percentage points from 2017 and is the lowest, according to Gallup. Between 1944 and 2011, more than 90% of Americans believed in God.
Gallup first asked this question in 1944, repeating it again in 1947 and twice each in the 1950s and 1960s. In those latter four surveys, a consistent 98% said they believed in God. When Gallup asked the question nearly five decades later, in 2011, 92% of Americans said they believed in God.
