Americans remain largely a people of faith, even though they may not regularly attend services with a faith community.

According to Gallup’s survey on religion in the nation, 74 percent of Americans identify with a Christian religion, and five percent with a non-Christian faith. Of those participating in the survey, 21 percent claimed to have no religious identity, an increase from the 15 percent who said the same in the 2008 survey.

Gallup observes a shift away from formal religion in America. In its earliest survey on religion in 1937, 73 percent claimed formal membership in a faith community. In the 1980s, that percentage fell to the upper 60 percent range, and ultimately fell to 54 percent – its lowest point – last year in 2015. This year’s survey finds a slight increase to 56 percent who are members of a church, synagogue, or mosque.
