(FAITHWIRE) – Looking for evidence to back the benefits of regular church attendance? Look no further than a new Gallup poll, which found better mental health trends among Americans who routinely attend worship services.
Forty-four percent of weekly churchgoers told Gallup they would describe their “mental health and emotional wellbeing” as “excellent.” This compares to 46% who said the same in 2020 and 42% of regular congregants who reported “excellent” mental health in 2019, holding relatively steady.
Notably, this was the highest proportion for self-reported excellent mental health among gender, age, political-party identification, and annual household income cohorts.
