The group More in Common U.S., a non-partisan international initiative focused on building stronger, more united communities, released a report this week titled “Promising Revelations: Undoing the False Impressions of America’s Faithful.”
The 100-plus-page report seeks to debunk several misconceptions about people of faith. It is based on data from a survey of 4,200 U.S. adults conducted in September and October 2023, as well as a follow-up survey of 2,000 adults in January 2024. The research explores the intersection of politics and faith in America, as well as beliefs that different religious groups hold about one another.
