The percentage of Americans who vote for the Democrat Party who identify as "religious" has dropped by 20 percentage points over the last 20 years.
The percentage of Democrats who identify as religious has dropped more than 20 points between 1999 and 2023, a recent Gallup survey found.
When Gallup first polled on the topic in 1999, 60 percent of Democrats identified as religious, as did 62 percent of Republicans. Since then, the percentage of religious Democrats has fallen 23 points to 37 percent.
"During that time, the percentage of Democrats identifying as spiritual but not religious has increased 14 points, while the percentage saying they are neither has tripled," the survey found.

This means the Democrat Party (which is the one out of the two major parties further to Left) has become increasingly atheist, rather rapidly over a relatively short span of time.
This likely may have some political ramifications. It's not hard to foresee that in the future the Democrats may adopt policies antithetical to Christians, with the Republican Party taking on the role of championing and defending Christian issues, even though Christianity in the U.S. is on the wane and will soon be a minority religion. (Only 1 out of 3 Americans attend church at least once a month)
