The "https://www.pewresearch.org/american-trends-panel-datasets/" Target="_blank">American Trends Panel (ATP), created by "https://www.pewresearch.org/our-methods/u-s-surveys/the-american-trends-panel/" Target="_blank">Pew Research Center, is a nationally representative panel of randomly selected U.S. adults. Panelists participate via self-administered web surveys. Panelists who do not have internet access at home are provided with a tablet and wireless internet connection. Interviews are conducted in both English and Spanish. The panel is being managed by "https://www.ipsos.com/en" Target="_blank">Ipsos.

Data in this report are drawn from the panel wave conducted March 1 to March 7, 2021. A total of 12,055 panelists responded out of 13,545 who were sampled, for a response rate of 89 percent. The cumulative response rate accounting for nonresponse to the recruitment surveys and attrition is four percent. The break-off rate among panelists who logged on to the survey and completed at least one item is one percent. The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 12,055 respondents is plus or minus one-and-a-half percentage points.

The ATP Wave 84 asked questions about religion in politics and tolerance.

This Pew Research Center survey asked a nationally representative sample of 7,006 Asian American adults about their experiences living in, and views of, the United States. It covers topics such as racial and ethnic identity, religious identities and practices, policy priorities, discrimination and racism in America, affirmative action, global affairs, living with economic hardship and immigrant experiences.The survey sampled U.S. adults who self-identify as Asian, either alone or in combination with other races or Hispanic ethnicity. It included oversamples of the Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Korean and Vietnamese populations. Respondents were drawn from a national sample of residential mailing addresses, which included addresses from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Specialized surname list frames were used to supplement the sample. The survey was conducted on paper and web in six languages: Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), English, Hindi, Korean, Tagalog and Vietnamese. Responses were collected from July 5, 2022, to Jan. 27, 2023.

The "https://www.pewresearch.org/" Target="_blank">Pew Research Center is a non-partisan organization dedicated to advancing social science research. They research a wide variety of topics through intensive opinion polling and demographic research. In 2014, they conducted a nationally representative telephone survey in the United States called the Religious Landscape Survey. This survey was conducted from June 4 to Sept. 30 in 2014 and featured a sample size of 35,071 U.S. adults. In a continuation of the survey, 5,000 of the respondents from the original poll were contacted again between March 17 and May 6 of 2015 for additional questions.

The survey was conducted on a large scale to develop a more precise understanding of the American religious landscape. The survey was conducted in both Spanish and English with a minimum of 300 interviews per state. The wide net, bilingual nature, and usage of telephones as the main form of communique, allows researchers to estimate that the survey covers 97 percent of non-institutionalized Americans. Though roughly three percent of Americans are not reachable by telephone or do not feature the necessary linguistic skills to participate in the survey, no additional measures were taken to account for this small percentage of the population not represented in the sample.

The large sample size of the research pool allows researchers to take a deeper look into religious groups previously under-studied in smaller surveys. The "https://www.thearda.com/data-archive?fid=RELLAND14" Target="_blank">2014 Religious Landscape study features hundreds of interviews with members of religious groups that make up less than one percent of the American religious sphere. The nature of this survey allows for a nuanced study of religious groups, and their individuals, across the whole of the country.

Pew Research Center conducted random, probability-based surveys among 13,122 adults (ages 18 and older) across six South and Southeast Asian countries: Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Interviewing was carried out under the direction of Langer Research Associates. In Malaysia and Singapore, interviews were conducted via computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) using mobile phones. In Cambodia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand, interviews were administered face-to-face using tablet devices, also known as computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI). All surveys were conducted between June 1 and Sept. 4, 2022.

This Pew Research Center survey is a nationally representative sample of U.S. teens and their parents. The data in this nationally representative sample was gathered using a self-administered web survey, and conducted among 1,811 dyads, with each dyad - or pair - comprised of one U.S. adolescent ages 13 to 17 and one parent per adolescent. The findings from this survey are detailed in the following reports, available on the Pew Research Center website: "https://www.pewforum.org/2019/10/03/for-a-lot-of-american-teens-religion-is-a-regular-part-of-the-public-school-day/" Target="_blank">Report 1,"https://www.pewforum.org/2020/09/10/u-s-teens-take-after-their-parents-religiously-attend-services-together-and-enjoy-family-rituals/" Target="_blank">Report 2. In addition to questions on religious practices, beliefs, and identity, this survey also asked teens a series of knowledge questions about the Holocaust, in order to compare adolescents and adults on knowledge of these topics.

This survey was sponsored by Pew Research Center for the People & the Press and conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates. A national sample of 2,041 adults with an oversample of African Americans (The oversample included 197 African Americans.) were intereviewed on March 5-8, 2001. Major topics included: volunteerism; church and political matters; religion and its influence on American life; religious affiliation.

Please Note: This dataset is part of the historical CISER Data Archive Collection and is also available at the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research at https://doi.org/10.25940/ROPER-31095741. We highly recommend using the Roper Center version as they may make this dataset available in multiple data formats in the future.

This dataset is the centerpiece of Pew Research Center's 2014 Religious Landscape Study, a nationally representative telephone survey conducted June 4-Sept. 30, 2014, among a sample of 35,071 U.S. adults. Approximately 60 percent of the interviews were conducted with respondents reached on cellphones (n=21,160) and 40 percent were completed on landlines (n=13,911). A minimum of 300 interviews were conducted in every state and the District of Columbia. Interviewing was conducted in English and Spanish. The survey is estimated to cover 97 percent of the non-institutionalized U.S. adult population; 3 percent of U.S. adults are not reachable by telephone or do not speak English or Spanish well enough to participate in the survey. No adjustments have been made to the data to attempt to account for the small amount of non-coverage.

The size of the national sample is unusually large for a religion survey. There are two main reasons for this. First, the large sample size makes it possible to estimate the religious composition of the U.S. with a high degree of precision. After taking into account the survey's design effect (based on the sample design and survey weights), the margin of error for the results based on the full sample is +/- 0.6 percentage points.

Second, the large sample size makes it possible to describe the characteristics of a wide variety of religious groups, including relatively small groups that cannot be analyzed using data from smaller surveys. With more than 35,000 respondents in total, the Religious Landscape Study includes interviews with roughly 350 in religious groups that account for just 1 percent of the U.S. population, and with 100 or more people in religious groups that are as small as three-tenths of 1 percent of the overall population. For instance, the study includes interviews with 245 Jehovah's Witnesses, a group that accounts for less than 1 percent of the U.S. population and is typically represented by only a few dozen respondents in smaller surveys.

This project investigated the public's attitudes on religion and public life. The survey was commissioned by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press and produced two reports. The sample consisted of 2,002 adults.

The Religious Landscape Study (RLS) is a survey that paints a religious portrait of the United States. With more than 36,000 respondents in 2023-24, it permits detailed examination of the religious identities, beliefs and practices of U.S. adults.

“Religion is a critical factor these days in the public's thinking about contentious policy issues and political matters. An increasing number of Americans have come to view Islam as a religion that encourages violence while a declining number say Islam has a lot in common with their own religion. The public remains divided over whether churches should stay out of politics, even as large numbers say they are comfortable with expressions of faith by political leaders. There also is evidence that next year's presidential vote may again provoke deep religious divisions over social issues, especially homosexual marriage” (Pew Forum). This survey was conducted by The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. (ARDA 3/4/2015).

The Pew Research Center Survey of U.S. Jews 2013 is a comprehensive national survey of the Jewish population. The survey explores attitudes, beliefs, practices and experiences of Jews living in the United States. There are two datasets, a respondent dataset (where there is one row per respondent) and a household dataset (where there is one row per person in the sampled households). The respondent dataset includes all of the information collected as part of the survey. The household dataset is a reshaped version of the respondent dataset that includes a limited number of variables describing the demographic characteristics and Jewish status of all of the people in the surveyed households.

Between Oct. 14, 2014, and May 21, 2015, Pew Research Center, with generous funding from The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Neubauer Family Foundation, completed 5,601 face-to-face interviews with non-institutionalized adults ages 18 and older living in Israel.

The survey sampling plan was based on six districts defined in the 2008 Israeli census. In addition, Jewish residents of West Bank (Judea and Samaria) were included.

The sample includes interviews with 3,789 respondents defined as Jews, 871 Muslims, 468 Christians and 439 Druze. An additional 34 respondents belong to other religions or are religiously unaffiliated. Five groups were oversampled as part of the survey design: Jews living in the West Bank, Haredim, Christian Arabs, Arabs living in East Jerusalem and Druze.

Interviews were conducted under the direction of Public Opinion and Marketing Research of Israel (PORI). Surveys were administered through face-to-face, paper and pencil interviews conducted at the respondent's place of residence. Sampling was conducted through a multi-stage stratified area probability sampling design based on national population data available through the Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics' 2008 census.

The questionnaire was designed by Pew Research Center staff in consultation with subject matter experts and advisers to the project. The questionnaire was translated into Hebrew, Russian and Arabic, independently verified by professional linguists conversant in regional dialects and pretested prior to fieldwork.

The questionnaire was divided into four sections. All respondents who took the survey in Russian or Hebrew were branched into the Jewish questionnaire (Questionnaire A). Arabic-speaking respondents were branched into the Muslim (Questionnaire B), Christian (Questionnaire C) or Druze questionnaire (D) based on their response to the religious identification question. For the full question wording and exact order of questions, please see the questionnaire.

Note that not all respondents who took the questionnaire in Hebrew or Russian are classified as Jews in this study. For further details on how respondents were classified as Jews, Muslims, Christians and Druze in the study, please see sidebar in the report titled "http://www.pewforum.org/2016/03/08/israels-religiously-divided-society/" Target="_blank">"How Religious are Defined".

Following fieldwork, survey performance was assessed by comparing the results for key demographic variables with population statistics available through the census. Data were weighted to account for different probabilities of selection among respondents. Where appropriate, data also were weighted through an iterative procedure to more closely align the samples with official population figures for gender, age and education. The reported margins of sampling error and the statistical tests of significance used in the analysis take into account the design effects due to weighting and sample design.

In addition to sampling error and other practical difficulties, one should bear in mind that question wording also can have an impact on the findings of opinion polls.
