皮尤报告：美国宗教实践自2020年以来保持稳定，34%成年人上月参加实体礼拜
美国皮尤研究中心10月28日发布的一份新报告对「美国宗教复兴」的说法提出挑战：报告发现，在经历长期下滑之后，美国人的宗教实践自2020年以来总体保持稳定。数据显示，70%的美国成年人认同某一宗教，47%每日祈祷，44%称宗教在生活中非常重要，34%每月至少参加一次宗教仪式。
在今年6月的一项调查中，34%的成年人表示过去一个月亲自参加过宗教仪式，45%曾亲自参加或在线观看仪式，两项均为皮尤自2020年7月开始追踪以来的最高水平。
年轻群体的信号并不一致：2004年至2008年出生、现年18至22岁的年轻人中，41%每月至少参加一两次礼拜，高于全国33%的平均水平，其最年轻男性的宗教虔诚度还首次高于同龄女性；而2000年至2003年出生、现年23至26岁者每月出席率仅27%，在祈祷频率、宗教重要性与宗教认同上都是最缺乏宗教性的年龄组。皮尤同时提醒，18至22岁组的结论基于443名受访者，误差范围为正负5.7个百分点，目前无法判断这是转折点还是短暂现象，也没有明确证据显示任何可追踪的出生群体近年变得更虔诚。

Pew Report: U.S. Religious Practice Has Held Stable Since 2020, With 34% of Adults Attending Services in the Past Month
A new Pew Research Center report released October 28 challenges claims of a religious revival in the United States, finding that after a prolonged decline, Americans' religious practice has remained broadly stable since 2020. In the data, 70 percent of U.S. adults identify with a religion, 47 percent pray daily, 44 percent say religion is very important in their lives, and 34 percent attend religious services at least monthly.
In a June survey cited by the report, 34 percent of adults said they had attended a religious service in person in the previous month, and 45 percent had attended in person or watched online — both the highest levels since Pew began asking the questions in July 2020.
The signals among young adults are mixed. Among those born from 2004 to 2008, now ages 18 to 22, 41 percent attend services at least once or twice a month, above the national average of 33 percent, and the youngest men report greater religious observance than the youngest women, a pattern not previously seen in Pew surveys. By contrast, only 27 percent of adults born from 2000 to 2003, now ages 23 to 26, attend at least monthly, and that group is the least religious of any age group on prayer frequency, the importance of religion and religious identification. Pew cautions that the 18-to-22 findings rest on 443 respondents with a margin of error of plus or minus 5.7 percentage points, that it cannot yet tell whether the pattern is a turning point or a blip, and that there is no clear evidence any tracked birth cohort has become more religious in recent years.
