The secular tide sweeping America? That s a white thing.
Black people, more than any other group in the country, are more likely to say that religion is “very important” in their day-to-day lives. At least 63% say they pray at least once a day, and 97% believe in God or some other higher power. Less than 1% of black people identified as atheist and 2% as agnostic, according to a recent study.
And unlike other ethnic groups, black people are less likely to abandon the faith of their fathers. A Pew Research Center study from 2016 found that the number of black Protestant adults remains steady at nearly 16 million adults from 2007 to 2015, while the number of white Protestants declined from 41 million in 2007 to 36 million in 2015.
