Religion means less to people in some English-speaking countries than it did 30 years ago.
The chart shows a clear downward trend in the share of people who see religion as important in their lives. This is based on surveys across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, from 1993 to 2022.
The United States stands out as the country with the highest percentage of people who consider religion important, though this has declined from 79% to 61%. The shift was even sharper in Canada, falling from 61% to 35%.
Religion was already less important to people in Australia, the UK, and New Zealand but in all three countries, this share dropped by more than a quarter.
