Page "Religion in the United States" Paragraph 0

Religion in the United States is characterized by both a wide diversity of religious beliefs and practices and by a high adherence level.

According to recent surveys, 80 percent of Americans identify with a religious denomination and 36 percent state that they attend services nearly every week or more.

A majority of Americans report that religion plays a " very important " role in their lives, a proportion unique among developed nations.

Many faiths have flourished in the United States, including those spanning the country's multicultural immigrant heritage, as well as those founded within the country: these have led the United States to become one of the most religiously diverse countries in the world.
