Religion

Just about a third of Indian adults (35%) say they ever practice yoga, including 22% who say they do so monthly or less.

Our new survey of 29,999 Indian adults takes a closer look at religious identity, nationalism and tolerance in Indian society.

Indians see religious tolerance as a central part of who they are as a nation. Across the major religious groups, most people say it is very important to respect all religions to be “truly Indian.”

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.”

Jewish Americans – much like the U.S. public overall – hold widely differing views on Israel and its political leadership.
