The Cooperative Election Study has been asking that question since 2008. In those early waves, more than a quarter of 18-29-year-olds said that they were evangelical or born-again. That share was relatively consistent over the next five or six years. But the percentages began to slowly creep downward. By 2016, it was pretty clear that evangelicalism had dropped by two or three points among the youngest adults. However, there has been a much more abrupt decline in the last five years or so. Between 2018 and 2022, the share of 18-29-year-olds who willingly embrace the evangelical label was about 22%. There\u2019s a statistically significant decline of about 4 percentage points from the data collected ten years prior. It\u2019s unmistakably true that evangelical self-identification has declined among the youngest adults."}
