The number of Americans who believe in God has dropped to the lowest level in the 78 years Gallup has asked the question, per a poll out Friday.
81% of U.S. adults say they believe in God — down 6 points from 2017.
Belief in God dropped the most among young adults, liberals and Democrats, with these groups showing a drop of 10 or more percentage points compared to an average of polls from 2013 to 2017, Gallup found.
More than 90% of Americans believed in God between 1944 and 2011.
Conservatives and married adults experienced little change in beliefs, and other subgroups, including education level and ages, experienced but a modest decline.
62% of liberals, 68% of young adults and 72% of Democrats say they believe in God. These groups experienced the largest declines in beliefs, Gallup notes.
Belief in God is highest among political conservatives, with 94% saying they believe in God, and Republicans, with 92% saying so.
While the percentage of Americans who believe in God is down over the last five years — and down even more when compared to the last several decades — a majority of Americans still believe in God, Gallup found.
Millennials and Gen X’ers seem to be driving “dramatic changes” in beliefs and lifestyles in the U.S., according to the results of a Arizona Christian University survey released in May 2021. Younger Americans are embracing other beliefs, such as horoscopes, over organized religion and traditional biblical teachings, the survey showed. -

God is an ever-watchful, ever-judging figure. He sees all. Even the things you wish he didn't. He's not happy with the person you've become, Anti SJW. Repent before him, the Holy Father, lest he paddles your bare ass with his plague stick.
"And God said to the Israelites 'Bare thy asses toward me. Whatever you feel pass through you is naught but mine Holy love and forgiveness. With it, you may accomplish wonders.' And a wave of Holy orgasms spread throughout God's people for they knew they were truly blessed to be entered by the Lord."
Exodus 4:3-9.
And that is why we shout God's name when we have sex.
Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one. -

I believe in God. I think it's retarded to believe we just showed up out of nowhere and from nothing.
What's truly retarded is ignoring modern scientific cosmology and philosophy (none of which makes this claim) and instead believing in bullshit people made up before they even knew what atoms were.
But at least you're being consistent with your knuckle dragging ignorance, I'll give you that.
