Religious Americans are happier
Happiness is on the decline in America, but those with religious beliefs tend to be much happier than those without, according to a recent poll from The Wall Street Journal/NORC.
The NORC has been doing this poll for just over 50 years. The latest iteration was conducted in March 2023 and surveyed 1,019 Americans.
There is an Overall drop in unhappiness: The poll found that just 12% of Americans consider themselves "very happy" - the lowest ever recorded in the poll's 50+ year history.
The Religious are happier: Among the 12% that are "very happy," the highest correlation was with those who believe in God - where 68% considered their beliefs "very important" to them.
By contrast, among those who said they were not happy, just 42% say belief in God is important to them.
As for Marriage: The "very happy" respondents also value marriage, with 67% saying it's very important to them.
The Political breakdown: Just 23% of Democrats say religion is very important to them, compared to 53% of Republicans.
