Only half of Americans now say they are sure God exists.
That finding, from the closely watched General Social Survey, stands out among several nuggets of new data about religion in America.
Not quite 50 percent of Americans say they have no doubt about the existence of God, according to the 2022 survey, released Wednesday by NORC, the University of Chicago research organization. As recently as 2008, the share of sure-believers topped 60 percent.
Thirty-four percent of Americans never go to church, NORC found, the highest figure recorded in five decades of surveys.
