Evidence Suggests Decline in Mental Health Tied to Lack of Belief in God



According to Axios, "The number of Americans who believe in God has dropped to the lowest level in the 78 years Gallup has asked the question, per a poll out Friday."


This comes as mental health in the U.S. is at an all-time low, with approximately 1 in 5 teens saying they regularly struggle with mental health.


According to the report, 81% of U.S. adults say they believe in God. This is down from 87% in 2017.


Belief in God dropped most in young adults and Democrats, according to multiple studies. While the least change in religious belief was found among conservatives and Republicans, with a statistically insignificant 1% drop in belief in God.


This trend comes as polarization has significantly increased among Democrats and Republicans on a range of moral issues.
