Source: Data on Asian adults are based on the survey of Asian American adults conducted July 5, 2022-Jan. 27, 2023. Data on U.S. adults is based on the Religious Landscape Study of U.S. adults conducted July 17, 2023-March 4, 2024.
Note: Asian Americans’ religious affiliation is based on Pew Research Center’s 2022-23 survey of Asian American adults. The survey was developed before the U.S. Census Bureau updated the list of Asian origins to include Central Asians. As a result, Central Asians are not included in the sample. This group made up about 2% of the Asian population overall in 2023. For more information on this survey, refer to the methodology. Share who didn’t offer an answer not shown.
