The United States armed forces are seeing a rise in religious sentiment even as mainstream culture becomes more secular, according to a recent statistical analysis.
Ryan Burge, a professor of practice at the John C. Danforth Center at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, posted an article on his popular Substack page, Graphs About Religion, in which he analyzed data from the Cooperative Election Study, noting that the number of active-duty military personnel who attend church at least once a week has increased in recent years.
The number of military personnel who attended church weekly has increased from 21% in 2010-2012 to 28% in 2022-2024. Those who attended more than once a week increased from 15% in 2010-2012 to 17% in 2022-2024. In total, 45% of military respondents surveyed in 2022-2024 attended at least weekly.
During the same period, the number of surveyed civilians who attended church weekly stayed at 16%, while those who attended more than once a week declined from 9% in 2010-2012 to 7% in 2022-2024. In total, 23% of civilian respondents surveyed in 2022-2024 attended at least weekly.
