Although 19.6% of Americans say they have no affiliation with any organized religion, a vast majority of that segment, 68%, say they still believe in God, the Pew poll found.
More Americans than ever say they don’t identify with an organized religion â€" a trend that is growing among all segments of the population, a poll released Tuesday found.
One in five American adults, or 19.6% of the population, are now religiously unaffiliated, a Pew Center/PBS survey finds. Atheists and agnostics now make up about 6% of the U.S. population.
The number of unaffiliated is now at its highest point ever and has increased 5% in the past five years,the poll found.
Further, the 46 million Americans who no longer identify with a religion aren’t looking to join a different one.
“Overwhelmingly, they [the non-affiliated] think that religious organizations are too concerned with money and power, too focused on rules and too involved in politics,†the survey said.
But a vast majority of those who describe themselves as religiously unaffiliated, 68%, still believe in God, the Pew poll found.
The survey focuses on Christian religions: Catholics, Protestants and evangelical Protestants.
Though people under 30 are the most likely to identify as unaffiliated, with 33% saying they are not associated with a religion, the trend has expanded across all segments of the population. That includes men and women, college graduates and non-college graduates and those making $ 75,000 and less than $ 30,000 per year. It has also grown in “all major regions of the country,†the poll found.
The religiously unaffiliated have also become an increasingly important segment of the electorate, the poll found.
Some 60% of registered voters who are religiously unaffiliated are Democrats, the poll found.
They are also far more likely to be socially liberal, with 73% saying they support same-sex marriage and 72% who support a woman’s right to abortion.
