“For conservative evangelicals, this moment likely isn’t surprising—it’s just finally documented. The facade has fallen. The mask is off. The numbers tell the same story Protestia has been telling for years…”
(Protestia) Gallup’s newest World Poll puts numbers on what anyone with eyes has known for a long time: America is no longer a religious nation. The percentage of adults who say religion is important in their daily lives has fallen from 66% in 2015 to 49% in 2025—a 17-point nosedive in a single decade. Gallup notes that this is one of the steepest declines on earth over that time span.
So much for the comforting myth of a “deeply religious America.” The data is revealing the reality.
The U.S.: Still Christian on Paper, Functionally Secular
The Gallup numbers reveal a country that still likes to check the Christian box but has no intention of letting Christianity interfere with daily life. This is the classic hallmark of a collapsing culture: a population that retains the labels but abandons the substance.
