Joe Biden is just the second Catholic president in U.S. history, after John F. Kennedy. Most U.S. adults know that Biden is Catholic, including majorities within both major political parties, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.

67% of U.S. Catholics say Joe Biden should be allowed to receive Communion during Mass, while 29% say he should not be allowed to do this.

Nearly all Black Americans believe in God or a higher power. But what type of God do they have in mind?

A new Pew Research Center survey finds that Americans are increasingly confident they can safely go to services at a church, temple, mosque or other house of worship.

The vast majority of religiously unaffiliated Black Americans believe in God and about half pray regularly, although few attend services.

Majorities of Black adults say predominantly Black churches have done at least some to help Black Americans.

Black American religious life is diverse, encompassing a wide range of religious affiliations, worship practices and beliefs.

Today, most Black adults say they rely on prayer to help make major decisions, and view opposing racism as essential to their religious faith.

Half of all U.S. adults think evangelical Christians will lose influence in Washington under President Joe Biden’s new administration.

About one-fifth of those Americans who have experienced online harassment say they believe they were targeted because of their religion.
