2022 PRRI Census of American Religion: Religious Affiliation ...
Approximately 62% of Americans identify as Christian, according to a 2023-24 survey by the Pew Research Center. Other recent surveys from 2020 and 2023 show similar figures, with the Pew Research Center and Gallup News reporting 64% and 68% respectively.
The Christian share of the population has been declining for decades, but the rate of decline appears to be slowing.
The largest Christian subgroups are Protestants (about 40%) and Catholics (about 19%).
Other Christian groups include Orthodox Christians and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which together make up a smaller percentage of the population.
The percentage of regular churchgoers in the U.S. is subject to debate, but recent studies suggest it is around 5% to 20%, depending on the definition of "regular" and the measurement method. While self-reported surveys show higher numbers, around 21% to 32% may claim to attend weekly or more, other studies that track actual behavior and attendance suggest lower numbers.
