In 1957, a time of greater religious commitment in the United States, 82 percent of Americans said that religion could answer all or most of the day's problems. In 2002, 66 percent of U.S. adults expressed the same sentiment. Recently that percent has dropped to about 55 percent. Meanwhile, the one third of Americans who today say religion is "largely old-fashioned and out of date" is up from seven percent in 1957 and near the all-time high of 35 percent. The remaining 10 percent of Americans today have no opinion on whether religion can solve today's problems.
