The rate of Britons aged 16 to 24 who respond affirmatively when asked if they "believe there is a God/there are gods" has risen from 16% to 37% since August 2021, according to a YouGov poll released earlier this month.
The poll also found that adherence to atheism within the same age demographic dropped from 49% in August 2021 to 32% four years later.
The Rt. Rev. Jill Duff, who serves as the bishop of Lancaster, attributed the statistics in part to the growing number of young people who are spiritually searching, according to The Telegraph.
Duff said she believes there is "a spiritual awakening" taking place among the younger generation, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences.
Public trust in Duff's own Church of England has declined amid recent scandals, with the established church's favorability rating dropping from 32% to 25% over the course of a year, according to a YouGov survey in February.
The poll's findings echo a Bible Society study from earlier this year dubbed "Quiet Revival," which found that the number of 18- to 24-year-olds who attend church at least once per month rose from 4% in 2018 to 16%.
As noted by The Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford, the U.K. has also seen a surge of immigration in recent years, which is a trend that could be influencing the data, according to author and independent researcher Rakib Ehsan.
The most recent census also found that the Muslim population of the U.K. rose from 2.7 million in 2011 to 3.9 million in 2021, with nearly half under 24.
