The Pew Religious Landscape Study: Five Key Findings About Religion in the United States Sociology Chapter 19: Religion Society: The Basics Chapter 13: Family and Religion

Why is this study important? The U.S. Census does not ask Americans about their religion, so there are no official government statistics on the religious composition of the U.S. Records from religious denominations use widely differing criteria for membership and sometimes do not remove members who have fallen away. Surveys of the general public that do include questions about religious affiliation have general questions and small sample sizes.

Discussion Questions What about the importance of religion in your life and in the lives of family members? What patterns or trends do you see? What are your predictions about the long-term strength of religion in the United States? What will be the level of religious affiliation fifty years from now? Explain your thoughts.
