There's a lot of buzz about Christian revival among young adults in the UK & US. Perceptions of revival are fueled by results from opt-in online surveys. However, these surveys may be misleading. Surveys from random samples of the population don't show any clear evidence of revival. My new post:

Has there been a Christian revival among young adults in the U.K.? Recent surveys may be misleading
Despite the widely recognized decline of Christianity in the U.K., there have been persistent rumblings of a Christian resurgence.

 The writer/editor is a position within the Center’s Religion research team, which seeks to promote a deeper understanding of religion and spirituality.

Following the release of reports, the writer/editor may help disseminate research to the public through the Center’s social media channels, videos, newsletters, and virtual or in-person gatherings, always adhering to the Center’s independent, nonpartisan, non-advocacy stance.

So happy to see Matt's EXCELLENT paper out in the world. I originally agreed to pitch in with sermon transcript analyses largely because I have a soft spot for grad students with overly ambitious plans, and I'm so impressed by how it all turned out.

Any influencers who'll never take a partisan or advocacy stance wanna team up with an expert whose awkward personality, middle-aged suburban mom status and penchant for taking being genuine too far make her a bad candidate for sharing research through short videos? 😬

In my 9 years of chit chat about my work at Pew Research Center, people have consistently been surprised that: - Pew is our benefactors' surname, not an acronym or reference to church seating - Only around 170 of us are on staff (<100 researchers) - As a 501c3, we give all of our work away for free

A majority of U.S. immigrants are concentrated in only a dozen metro areas www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
Map of United States of America shows 20 U.S. metro areas with the largest number of immigrants as of 2023. These include New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Washington D.C. and Chicago. Circles over cities indicate size of immigrant population on a scale of 500,000 to 6 million.

Immigrants from most regions are more likely to hold a Bachelor's degree or higher than native-born adults in the U.S. Nearly 20% of U.S. workers are immigrants, but their numbers are declining.
Stacked bar chart showing educational attainment by country or region of birth. Most regions show higher shares of people with Bachelor's degrees or more than for the U.S.-born, but 36% of all immigrants and 36% of all native-born adults age 25+ hold at least a Bachelor's degree.

I'd like to broaden this to "what really should be common knowledge but isn't" and point out that "life expectancy" is almost always shorthand for LE AT BIRTH. LE extends with age. A modest but literal majority of 70 year olds living in the U.S. today are expected to see 85.

This post immediately brought 3 things to mind: 1. The Census Bureau's mission to count everyone is what enables us to study the size and characteristics of the unauthorized immigrant population.
Truth social post from @realDonaldTrump reads, "I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024. People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!:

Soon after we released our report on the religious composition of migrants around the world last year, I had this conversation on BBC Four about our results and how the public discourse on the topic tends to shed more heat than light that's just as relevant today. www.bbc.com/audio/play/m...

Our post election survey finds Democrats more pessimistic about their party's future than at any point in the past eight years: www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

After Trump’s victory, Democrats are more pessimistic about their party’s future
The partisan gap in Republican and Democratic views of their parties’ futures (35 percentage points) is much larger than after any recent election.
