Through a data-driven approach, this book offers a meta-analysis of increasing religiosity post-COVID, why these trends matter, and what they suggest about the future of religion in the United States. Though the COVID-19 epidemic has irreparably altered the way we view ourselves and the world around us, not enough attention has been paid to its impact on faith, particularly for younger people, ages 15-35. In this book, William Jeynes examines the reality that, for many young people, COVID-19 has spawned a new interest in faith. In the midst of worldwide political, environmental, and social catastrophe, faith has offered a haven and a space for answers to life's big questions. Here, Jeynes examines meta-analyses and American data sets which confirm this societal revisiting of the importance of faith and the invisible within young people.
