Gen Z Women Face Alarming Decline in Faith
Faith Facts
- 38% of Gen Z women identify as atheist, agnostic, or have no faith.
- Young adult Gen Z women show the lowest Bible reading, prayer, and church attendance rates among their peers.
- Only 23% of Gen Z women feel supported by their fathers, and 36% by their mothers.
Barna Research highlights a concerning trend: nearly four in ten young women in Generation Z are stepping away from religious beliefs, leaving a spiritual void in their lives.
Low rates of Bible reading, prayer, and church attendance among these women underscore a larger crisis of faith and community support.
“Faith is a skill that must be modeled first, and strong, supportive relationships can bridge the gap between doubt and belief.”
Many Gen Z women do not feel understood or valued by parents and other adults, adding to their spiritual disengagement and sense of isolation.
This trend calls for Christian families and churches to renew efforts in modeling faith, building relationships, and fostering biblical values for the next generation.
