Most popular religious groups in Iroquois County, IL
Freedom of religion is a constitutionally protected right in the United States provided in the First Amendment. When compared to other countries around the world, however, the U.S. is not particularly religiously diverse.
About 70% of Americans identify as Christian—including all branches and denominations—and nearly 25% are religiously unaffiliated. The greatest religious diversity is split among the remaining 5% of the population. The growing number of people in the U.S. who identify as religiously unaffiliated can be attributed to people, particularly white people, disaffiliating from Christianity.
A 2022 Pew Research model based on historical religion-switching trends predicts that the share of the population identifying as either Christian or unaffiliated will be closer to 50/50 by 2070. If current trends accelerate, Christians could represent less than half of the country's population.
At a local level, prominent religious affiliations can vary across the U.S., driven by factors like the average age of the population, cultural practices, immigrant communities, and income. Numerous studies reveal that people at lower income levels tend to be more religious than wealthier people, possibly because religion helps people cope with poverty from a psychological standpoint.
