by Katherine Hamilton, Breitbart:
A majority of Americans say faith is important to their daily lives, but they worry “too many religious institutions nowadays are watering down or abandoning their traditional beliefs,” a new Rasmussen Reports poll found.
Out of 1,056 American adults polled between April 9-11, 65 percent say they agree that too many religious institutions are watering down or abandoning their traditional beliefs. Thirty-five percent say they “strongly agree,” while 23 percent disagree and 12 percent are unsure. The margin of sampling error is ±3 percentage points with a 95 percent confidence level.

Overall, 75 percent of respondents say “religious faith [is] important to their daily lives,” up from 71 percent in 2018. Nearly half, 49 percent, say it is “very important” to their lives. The results are higher than March polling from Wall Street Journal-NORC, which found that 39 percent of American adults say religion is “very important to them.” The chart below shows results from that poll:

According to that polling, religion has seen a precipitous decline in ranking of importance: 62 percent of Americans said religion was “very important” in 1998, a sentiment which tumbled down to 48 percent in 2019 before hitting this year’s low percentage.
