Young men are becoming more religious than young women for the first time in 25 years.

A new Gallup poll shows young American men are becoming more religious than young women for the first time in 25 years. While 42% of men under 30 say religion is very important, only about 30% of young women feel the same. This shift is largely driven by Republican men, whose attendance has risen, while Democratic men’s attendance has declined. Experts suggest young men are seeking acceptance in religious communities that remain largely white and male-dominated.
