US religious leaders explain why faith in God hit lowest level ever, say COVID made it worse


A new Gallup poll shows that Americans’ faith in God has hit an all-time low. And four Christian faith leaders said that a variety of factors, including young people filling their lives with things besides God and anxiety from coronavirus lockdowns, have contributed to the decline. The poll showed that 81% of Americans believe in God, which is a six-point drop from 2017 and represents the lowest percentage Gallup has ever recorded. The biggest drop in faith in terms of age groups was a 10% decline in 18- to 29-year-olds who say they believe in God. Multiple faith leaders who spoke with Fox News Digital placed some blame for the declining belief in God in the United States on churches themselves.
