Losing Our Religion?

from Poll Hub · host Lee Miringoff, Jay DeDapper, Mary Griffith, Barbara Carvalho

Our latest poll with NPR/PBS NewsHour is out and behind the horserace numbers is some really interesting -- and some would say worrying -- data about how Americans are thinking about our democracy. We're asking what the results are telling us about which candidate is more likely to preserve democracy and about American's fear of fascism and extremism.Next, are we becoming an R.E.M. song and losing our religion? There's a growing population in America that is identifying less with religion, particularly organized religion. Does this mean we're becoming less religious, as well? And, what does it mean for pollsters who use the religion of respondents to help better analyze opinion data?And, after all that weighty stuff, our fun fact is all about a treat that, in excess, is surely weighty, as well: Donuts!

We've got another poll out and this one has a lot more than just Biden v. Trump numbers. Americans -- especially younger ones -- are identifying less and less with organized religion. But, that doesn't necessarily mean Americans are less religious... Finally, we are going nuts for donuts!
