The number of Americans who believe in God has hit an all-time low, according to a new Gallup poll.

There are 81% of Americans who believe in God – the lowest percentage in the poll that has been conducted by Gallup since 1944. There were 17% of American adults who said they do not believe in any God and 2% who said they were unsure.

The latest poll shows the number of American adults who believe in God is down 6% from the 2017 survey.

Between the years 1953 and 1967, 98% of U.S. adults believed in God. By 2011, 92% had religious faith in God.

Just 68% of young adults between the ages of 18 and 29 believe in God, according to the survey that was released on Friday.

Based on regions, the South polled the highest at 86% versus the East being the lowest at 78%. There was only a 2% difference between those from cities, suburbs, and rural areas.

The Gallup Values and Beliefs poll of more than 1,000 U.S. adults that was conducted between May 2 and 22 found there was a stark ideological divide regarding belief in God between political party affiliations.

The survey said that 94% of conservatives and 92% of Republicans had the highest belief in God, while only 62% of liberals and 72% of Democrats believe in a higher power. Independents polled at 81%.
