Gen Z Men's Views of Religion Take Dramatic Turn
Summary
New polling data from Gallup shows a significant increase in religious importance among men aged 18 to 29 in the U.S., reversing a long-term decline in religious engagement. This shift is notable because young men are now more likely than young women to say religion is very important, and it may affect future social and political trends.Key Facts
