According to the new Harris Poll, Gen Z is now ranked among the most religious generations in the country, with 88% actively practicing their spirituality.
In the poll, roughly 33% of Gen Zers identify as religious, compared to 19% of millennials, 22% of Gen Xers, and 18% of baby boomers.
Twenty-four percent of those 33% also identified as both religious and spiritual.
Twenty percent of millennials, 21% of Gen Xers, and 23% of boomers self-identified as neither.
The poll also noted that 67% of Gen Zers pray, 54% read Scripture or religious texts, and 49% attended a recent religious service, such as Mass or other worship.
Comparatively, all other generations fall 7% to 11% behind Gen Z in all three categories, except boomers and Gen Xers, who pray more than Gen Zers by at least 5%.
The results of this poll indicate a potential reversal of a trend. A 2022 survey by the American Survey Center found in 2022 that Gen Z was the least religious cohort in American society, with 34% reporting that they were neither spiritual nor religious.
