Pew's religion research team is revising their workflows to include DOIs for their reports, datasets, and more going forward. Already today, a short report also comes with a shiny new DOI: doi.org/10.58094/yy8...
Big congrats to @conradhackett.bsky.social and team for the big launch!

Globally, Christians remain the largest religion category in number, while Muslims and religiously unaffiliated people were the fastest-growing groups from 2010 to 2020. The rise of the "nones" was fueled by switching out of Christianity.

Republicans perceive more discrimination against people who are: White, evangelical, men & religious.
Democrats are much more likely to perceive discrimination against people who are: gay or lesbian, Black, immigrants in US legally, Hispanic, & women.

If you are trying to make as much as possible by taking many online surveys (or taking the same survey many times), you might pretend to have desirable traits in survey screener (traits of underrepresented groups) and then complete surveys as quickly as possible.

People taking surveys only for incentives may say they have the characteristics they think are more likely to qualify them for a survey. See post for more detail.
