The 21st century has been hard on God, with faith in the divine and organized religion facing unrelenting decline.
The devil, it turns out, is not doing much better.
Losing faith in God seems to be accompanied by disbelief in the Devil, according to a new Gallup report that found more than half of Americans (58%) believe it exists, down from over two-thirds (68%) in 2001. About the same percentage (59%) said they believe in hell, down from 71% two decades ago.
The poll of 1,011 adult Americans, conducted in May, asked about beliefs in five spiritual entities: God, the Devil, angels, hell and heaven. Belief in all five is at its lowest point since Gallup began polling about these five topics in 2001.
