Joe Rogan Experience #2533 - Diana Pasulka · Aired Jul 30, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
More than 80% of people in the United States believe in God.
The finding
What the evidence shows
This is close but the picture has gotten murkier than a clean majority. Gallup's long-running trend question put belief in God at 81% in 2022, its lowest point ever but still just over 80%. A newer Gallup survey in 2023 that explicitly offered an 'unsure' option found only 74% said they believe in God, below 80%. So depending on how the question is asked, recent numbers land on both sides of that line.
