A Gallup survey reported in 2024 found that Americans who attended religious services regularly were more likely to say they were very satisfied with their personal lives than those who seldom or never attended. The archived report cited figures of 56 percent for weekly attendees and 41 percent for infrequent or nonattendees. The findings describe an association, not proof that attending church causes greater happiness. Gallup also reported differences by income, marital status, age, and other characteristics.
