More than 9 in 10 Americans still say “yes” when asked the basic question “Do you believe in God?”; this is down only slightly from the 1940s, when Gallup first asked this question.
Belief in God drops below 90% among younger Americans, liberals, those living in the East, those with postgraduate educations, and political independents.
However, belief in God is nearly universal among Republicans and conservatives and, to a slightly lesser degree, in the South.
