There has been a jump in the share of U.S. adults who see the Supreme Court as “friendly” toward religion.
Among religious groups, White evangelical Protestants continue to have the most positive opinion of Trump.
Most registered voters who are White Christians would vote for Republican Donald Trump over Democrat Joe Biden if the 2024 presidential election were held today.
Most parents pass along religious and political affiliations, and they do so at similarly high rates, according to a new analysis of several surveys.
Majorities of White Christian groups say the large number of migrants seeking to enter at the border with Mexico is a “crisis” for the United States.
Most say Francis represents change in the church. And many say the church should allow priests to marry and let Catholics use birth control.
Highly religious Americans are much more likely to see society in those terms, while nonreligious people tend to see more ambiguity.
While there has been a decades-long decline in the Christian share of U.S. adults, 88% of the voting members in the new 118th Congress identify as Christian. That is only a few points lower than their share in the late 1970s.
Hindus were the religious group most likely to say they voted for the BJP in India’s most recent parliamentary election.
Nearly two-thirds of Hindus (64%) in India say it is very important to be Hindu to be truly Indian, our survey found.
