Gen Z shows a cautious religious uptick among young men
New Gallup data show 42% of Gen Z men ages 18–29 say religion is "very important" in their lives, up from about 28% a few years ago and narrowing the long-standing gender gap. Yet other surveys show only modest increases in church attendance and persistently high religious unaffiliation, so there is no nationwide revival—at most a targeted uptick among certain groups that could influence politics and culture in specific communities.
