The great majority of Americans aged 18 or older believe in heaven, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey. A smaller 62 percent believe in hell. While there are some differences by age in these beliefs, the majority of every age group believes in heaven and hell...
Percent who believe in heaven (and hell)
Total 18-plus: 73% (62%)
Aged 18 to 29: 63% (55%)
Aged 30 to 49: 69% (59%)
Aged 50 to 64: 81% (70%)
Aged 65-plus: 79% (62%)
Among those who believe in heaven, 65 percent think people in heaven "are reunited with loved ones who died previously." Only 48 percent think they "are reunited with pets or animals they knew on Earth."
