Why did we do this?
Pew Research Center conducts high-quality research to inform the public, journalists and leaders. Studying religion’s role in public life is a key part of the Center’s long-standing research. In recent months, the media has followed how religious groups are engaging with important political issues, including immigration, U.S. military action in Iran, abortion and more.
