Today's youngest adults (born between 2000-06, ages 18-24) are among the least likely to regularly attend religious services, to be members of religious congregations, to have been raised religiously, to say religion is important, and to say they've become more religious over time.

One other data point that may be helpful: At the national level, 30% fall in the "highly religious" category. So you can think about the state percentages relative to the national average.

The index is also slightly more complicated than how the 4 other measures are displayed. For example, it considers not just whether people say they believe in God or a universal spirit, but also *how certain* they are in that belief.

@shablopligh.bsky.social, Great question, and I've included how the overall religiousness score was calculated.
Because overall religiousness is based on several measures, the share in the "highly religious" category can be lower when respondents score high on 1 or a few measures and low on others.
