I'm still digging through the newest Pew Religious Landscape Survey, but it seems clear enough that one of the biggest differences in Buddhists between the 2007 study and the 2023-24 study is that the newer sample included more Asian Americans.

And for that reason, I think we need to be cautious about drawing any conclusions from the data. The first study was really flawed methodologically in terms of Buddhists. The sample was too small and too geographically limited to accurately capture such a small religious groups as Buddhists.
Yeah I agree the small sample size is really important here. I remember that from the last one (I probably have an old twitter thread abt it) but haven’t had time to dig in to this one yet
