最年轻成年人礼拜出勤率超过父母一代：皮尤调查18至22岁组41%每月至少参加一次礼拜
皮尤研究中心10月28日发布的一份报告显示，美国最年轻的成年人群体在宗教礼拜出勤上超过了父母一代。据The Baptist Paper报道，2004至2008年出生、现年18至22岁的受访者中，41%表示每月至少参加一次宗教礼拜，高于全美公众整体的33%，在所有年龄组中仅次于1950年前出生者的43%。
但同一报告也给出相反方向的信号：出生于2000至2003年、现年23至26岁的略年长Z世代，每月至少参加一次礼拜的比例只有27%，是各年龄组中最低的，在每日祈祷（26%）、认为宗教非常重要（27%）与认同某一宗教（50%）等指标上也最低。18至22岁组在性别上也有差异：该组男性47%每月至少参加一次礼拜，女性为35%。皮尤宗教与公共生活团队高级研究员Chip Rotolo称41%这一数字「相当高得惊人」，同时提醒：该年龄组样本只有443人，误差幅度约6个百分点，现在判断这是短暂现象还是长期趋势的开端还为时过早。
这份报告基于皮尤两项调查：2026年全国公共舆论参考调查（5,511名美国成年人）与2025年横截面参与调查（5,393名美国成年人）。
这一发现与过去一年的其他调查相互呼应。福音派民调机构Barna Group 2025年9月发布的数据显示，在已经上教会的人群中，Z世代的出勤比其他世代更规律，平均每月参加礼拜1.9次，略高于千禧一代的1.8次。Rotolo表示，没有迹象显示今天的年轻成年人比十多年前同龄人明显更虔诚，这一图景需要放在更长的时间尺度上观察。

Youngest Adults Outpace Parents' Generation in Worship Attendance: 41% of 18-to-22-Year-Olds Attend at Least Monthly in Pew Survey
A Pew Research Center report released October 28 found that America's youngest adults are attending religious services more often than their parents' generation. As reported by The Baptist Paper, 41% of respondents born between 2004 and 2008, now ages 18 to 22, said they attend religious services at least monthly, higher than the U.S. public overall at 33% and every age group except those born before 1950, at 43%.
The same report carries signals in the other direction: slightly older Gen Z adults born between 2000 and 2003, now ages 23 to 26, reported the lowest numbers of any age group, with only 27% attending services at least monthly, along with the lowest rates for daily prayer (26%), viewing religion as very important (27%) and identifying with a religion (50%). Within the youngest group, 47% of men reported attending at least monthly, compared with 35% of women. Chip Rotolo, a senior researcher on Pew's religion and public life team, called the 41% figure "pretty remarkably high," while cautioning that the cohort included only 443 respondents, with a margin of error of about six percentage points, and that it is too soon to tell whether the finding is a blip or the start of a larger trend.
The report draws on two Pew surveys: the 2026 National Public Opinion Reference Survey, with 5,511 U.S. adults, and the 2025 Cross-Sectional Engagement Survey, with 5,393 U.S. adults.
The finding follows other surveys over the past year. Barna Group, an evangelical polling firm, reported in September 2025 that among those already attending church, Gen Z attends more regularly than other generations of churchgoers, at 1.9 times per month, just slightly more frequently than millennial churchgoers at 1.8 times. Rotolo said there are no signs that today's young adults are more religious than young people of the same age a decade or more ago, and that the picture needs a longer view.
