The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
A new report from the Pew Research Center reveals that the 118th US Congress is more Christian and religious than the general public. The new report says that around 88% of all members of Congress are Christian, compared to only 63% of Americans who identify as such. That includes 57% of Congress members who identify as Protestant and 28% who are Catholic, both higher than the national percentage. Even though the number of religiously unaffiliated Americans has risen since 2007, only one member of Congress, independent Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, explicitly stated that she belongs to this category. Another member of Congress, Democratic Representative Jared Huffman, identifies as a Humanist. The report also listed 20 Congress members as having an unknown religious affiliation since they either did not answer the CQ Roll Call’s query, which served as the primary data source for Pew’s analysis. Pew Research Center also said in its report that the US Congress has been “largely untouched” by two significant trends in America’s religious life; the gradual, decades-long decline of Americans who identify as Christian and the steady increase of Americans who have no religious affiliation.
