Three percent identify as Jewish and one percent as Muslim. Seventeen percent identify as some other religious faith, and 12 percent are atheists,” according to the Rasmussen poll report.
Forty-three percent of respondents say they attend church, synagogue, or mosque at least once a month, including 24 percent who attend at least once a week. Nearly a quarter say they attend occasionally, while a third never attend. The pollster notes their findings in this area have not changed much since 2018.
Adults who attend services at least weekly are most likely to Strongly Agree that too many religious institutions nowadays are watering down or abandoning their traditional beliefs. That view is shared by 52 percent of evangelical Christians, as well as 34 percent of Catholics, 30 percent of Protestants, and 41 percent of Jews, the poll report states.
Younger adults are more likely to say they are evangelicals, while Americans 65 and older are more likely to identify as Protestant. Young people are also least likely to attend services weekly, but are also most likely to agree that too many religious institutions nowadays are watering down or abandoning their traditional beliefs.
