63% of U.S adults have a “very” or “mostly” favorable opinion of Pope Francis, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in March.

The American Jewish population, like other religious groups, is in flux. Still, 88% of U.S. adults who were raised Jewish are still Jewish.

Roughly two-thirds of atheists (65%) and six-in-ten agnostics (57%) either “strongly” or “somewhat” oppose the death penalty.

Jews ages 18 to 29 are just as likely as those 65 and older to say they attend religious services at least monthly (22% each).

U.S. adults who are affiliated with a religion are less likely than religiously unaffiliated adults to support broadly legal marijuana.

Republicans and Democrats continue to differ over the factors they see as important for being “truly American.”

Based on certain traditional measures of religious observance, U.S. Jews are far less religious than U.S. Christians and Americans overall.
