A Gallup poll released on Monday reveals that the percentage of Americans who believe God created humans in their present form within the past 10,000 years has reached a 40-year low. The poll indicates a significant decline in the belief that God played a role in creating the first humans. Additionally, Gallup polling data shows that while certain belief in God declines with increased education, the difference is not as stark as might be expected. Only 6% of those with a graduate degree identify as atheists, compared to 4% of those with a high school diploma.
