A new Gallup poll sparked headlines claiming young men in the U.S. are becoming more religious—but the reality is more complicated. Yes, the data shows a noticeable increase: about 42% of men ages 18–29 now say religion is “very important” to them, up sharply from just 28% a couple years ago.
But zoom out, and the bigger trend hasn’t changed. Religion in America is still in long-term decline, with rising numbers of religiously unaffiliated people and lower overall participation across most demographics. Even among Gen Z, a huge share remains non-religious, and experts caution there’s no evidence of a broad religious revival—just a more limited, uneven shift among certain groups of young men.
Let's talk about what the Gallup data actually shows, why young men may be driving this short-term uptick, and why headlines about a “religious comeback” are misleading.

The university accepted nearly equal numbers of male and female prospects, though, like some other schools, it got nearly twice as many female applicants. That math meant it was easier for male students to get in — 7 percent of male applicants were admitted, compared with 4.4 percent of female applicants, university data shows.
The Trump administration's policies may soon put an end to that advantage enjoyed by men at some colleges, admissions and higher-education experts say...
The law states that "reproductive cancer of any type" be covered. Officials added male breast cancer under that category after a working group of experts reviewed the science. The decision noted "the marked similarity of male and female breast cancer."
The Trump administration's memo argues that designation is a mistake. "The Biden Administration falsely classified male breasts as reproductive organs," Kasperowicz said in his statement to ProPublica.
A former official who was involved in the VA's decision last year said that while there were discussions about how to interpret "reproductive cancer," the scientific consensus among VA oncologists was clear. "The evidence showed that male and female breast tissue respond similarly to toxic exposures and share nearly identical biological and mutational profiles," said the former official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing concern for his job prospects in government. "Expanding coverage to male breast cancer was the right call."…
"They seek to lower the bar to participating in the far right, and by doing so have proved attractive to a cohort of mostly male members, some of whom have never before undertaken any form of activism."
Heidi Beirich, co-founder and chief strategy officer of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, said the OGC "appears to be another major new network of racists, too many of which are springing up in the era of Trump".
She said the group was "pushing violent ideologies, including race hate and antisemitism and has links to prominent figures on the far right"…
