Religion has become less important in some English-speaking countries
A line graph titled "In some English-speaking countries, people value religion less than before" displays data from 1993 to 2022 on the share of people who consider religion "very important" or "rather important" in their lives. The graph features five lines, each representing a different country: - The United States, starting at 79% in 1993 and decreasing to 61% by 2022. - Canada, beginning at 61% in 1993 and declining to 35%. - Australia, initially at 48% and dropping to 29%. - The United Kingdom, starting at 45% and falling to 33%. - New Zealand, with a starting point of 38% and a slight decrease to 28%. The Y-axis represents the percentage of respondents, while the X-axis marks the years from 1993 to 2022. A note on the survey question states: "Would you say [religion is] very important [in your life], rather important, not very important or not important at all?" The data source is cited as "Integrated Values Surveys (2022)" along with a Creative Commons BY attribution.
