• The Religion & Public Life Project comes from the Pew Research Center and seeks to promote a deeper understanding of issues at the intersection of religion and public affairs. There are "surveys, demographic studies and other social science research on a wide range of issues concerning religion and society in the U.S. and around the world." The Pew Center informs the public about the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world through public opinion polling, demographic studies, media content analysis and other empirical social science research. Pew Research does not take positions on any of the issues it covers or on policy debates."
