Visual Capitalist - The Religious Landscape Study (RLS) was conducted by the Pew Research Center
in 2007, 2014, and 2023–24. The study surveys more than 35,000
Americans across all 50 states about their religious affiliations.
After many years of steady decline, the share of Americans who identify as Christian shows signs of leveling off—at least temporarily.
According to the study, the percentage of U.S. adults identifying as Christian declined from 78% in 2007 to 63% in 2023-24. Since 2020, the percentage has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 62% and 64%.
| Religious Group | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Evangelical Protestant | 23% |
| Catholic | 19% |
| Mainline Protestant | 11% |
| Black Protestant | 5% |
| Other Christian | 3% |
| Latter-day Saints | 2% |
| Jewish | 2% |
| Muslim | 1% |
| Buddhist | 1% |
| Hindu | 1% |
| Other World Religions | 2% |
| Atheist | 5% |
