About three-quarters of U.S. atheists (77%) do not believe in God or a higher power or in a spiritual force of any kind, according to our summer 2023 survey. At the same time, 23% say they do believe in a higher power of some kind, though fewer than 1% of U.S. atheists say they believe in "God as described in the Bible." This shows that not all self-described atheists fit the literal definition of "atheist," which is "a person who does not believe in the existence of a god or any gods," according to Merriam-Webster.
