To hear more, visit claremontinstitute.substack.com In a new Gallup poll, the number of young men who consider religion “very important” rose dramatically (up 14 percent to 42, from 28 in 2022), reversing a decades-long trend. Host Spencer Klavan and Claremont president Ryan Williams contemplate the implications for America's civic health: the reconciliation of science and faith, a potential uptick in marriages and families, and the potential restoration of something like a civic theology.
