There's a type of survey that is fueling talk of a young adult religious revival in the UK & the US.

You should be concerned about this type of survey because it is increasingly common and it may produce misleading results on many topics other than religion.

There's a lot of buzz about Christian revival among young adults in the UK & US. Perceptions of revival are fueled by results from opt-in online surveys. However, these surveys may be misleading. Surveys from random samples of the population don't show any clear evidence of revival.

Is the world becoming more religious? Is a Christian revival underway in the UK?
I'll discuss these questions in London next week:
Wed. at @ucl.ac.uk https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/events/2026/jan/world-becoming-more-religious-or-less-religious
Thur. at @brunelpsy.bsky.social https://students.brunel.ac.uk/whats-on/shared-horizons-seminar-series-conrad-hackett

New study in Nature Communications https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-62452-z : "3 stages of religious decline around the world."

We find a secular transition begins at different times in different places. Over generations, drops in religious:
1. Participation
2. Importance
3. Belonging
