A new YouGov poll shows that 37 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds now believe in God. That’s up from 16 percent in August 2021.

The survey doesn’t provide a breakdown of religions, so it doesn’t specifically reference Christianity.

Respondents were asked whether they “believe there is a God/there are Gods.”

While the figures show an increase this month, August, they are down from January of this year, when 45 percent said they believed in God.

A quarter of Brits (25 percent) in the 25- to 49-year-old age group also said they believed in God, but that number is down from 33 percent in January. It is slightly higher than August 2019, when it stood at 22 percent.

The faith of those in the older age category of 50–64 has remained steady, at around 27 percent over the last six years.

Among those over 65, belief in God has also remained fairly consistent—35 percent in 2019 and 32 percent today.

Another notable finding among the younger age group shows that the number of those who don’t believe in any sort of God or greater spiritual power has fallen from 19 percent in August 2022 to 12 percent today.

The Bishop of Lancaster, Rt. Rev. Jill Duff, told The Telegraph that while the findings reflect all religions, they suggest Britain is in the midst of the widely reported “quiet revival”:

“I’m not surprised by this… It is very much what we are seeing on the ground in our churches.

There has been a trend in this direction—that the younger you are, the more spiritually open you are—and we are seeing a real openness to God and Christianity, and especially to the supernatural, in the younger age group.

I think there is a spiritual awakening.”
