Context and Data US Census Bureau Race Projections to 2050 No census question But can use large surveys (GSS), plus census and immigration statistics Pew 2007, 2008 surveys for small groups

Methodology Cohort Component Projections Multi-State Projection (PDE) Software Inputs (for each group, by 5 yr age bands and sex): –Base Population –Total Fertility Rate (TFR) –Net conversion/apostasy per year –Net immigration per year –Mortality (standard)

Resident population Net immigrants Immigration based on numbers acquiring citizenship in (Homeland Security) 1.2m per year Faith of immigrants computed from source countries x religious composition of source countries (CIA Fact Book) Catholic and Other overrepresented, Protestants underrepresented

Projected Trends in Opinion Under Various Scenarios

Conclusions: Market Share Main drivers to 2043 are immigration and secularization, fertility matters more long term Conversion favours Fundamentalist Protestants but is not large enough to compensate for immigration of Hispanic Catholics and rise of No Religion Fundamentalist Protestants will decrease in total, among whites, and among voters Muslims will outnumber Jews by approximately 2020 Jews, white Catholics and liberal Protestants will decline Protestants decline from a majority in 2003 to 40 percent by 2043; Catholics may outnumber Protestants by mid-century

Conclusions: Religiosity Seculars will increase their share of the white population but not of the total population Secularization will plateau by 2043 and will reverse thereafter. Secular-Religious Fertility differences between partisans on opposite sides of 'culture war' issues are substantial and growing Opinion on abortion is likely to become more pro- life Attitudes regarding homosexuality will be stable, reflecting more liberal attitudes among younger cohorts but more conservative attitudes among demographically-growing groups
