Demographic Reports

The U.S. Religious Landscape Survey may be the most exhaustive survey ever taken of religious and political attitudes of the American people. "This report illustrates, chapter and verse, the amazing diversity and dynamism both between and within religious traditions in America," noted John Green, senior fellow at the Pew Forum. "And this diversity of affiliation, belief and practice matters when it comes to social and political questions." Part One was released in Feb, 08; Part Two was released in Jun, 08.
