American Piety in the 21st Century

American Piety in the 21st Century, an extensive survey of beliefs and practices released in 2006, was conducted by the Baylor Institute for Studies of Religion. This study counted one-third of Americans as evangelicals, compared with the Pew study’s one-fourth. It numbered the unaffiliated at 10.8 percent, much lower than the new Pew study and the ARIS 2001 study. Jews made up 2.5 percent of the total population, according to this study, much higher than the new Pew study and the ARIS 2001 study. But like the Pew study, it found that Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 are more likely to be unaffiliated than any other age group.
