We may not feel connected to each other every moment of every day. But 92% of Americans say they feel a deep sense of connection with humanity at least sometimes, including 34% who feel this deep connection every week. Data from @pewresearch.org’s 2023-24 Religious Landscape Study (RLS)

Do you favor or oppose displaying the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms? A nationally representative @pewresearch.org survey from April 2026 finds that Americans are about equally split on the question: 50% favor it, 48% oppose it.

Prayer in public schools? The Ten Commandments in classrooms? Here’s the latest @pewresearch.org public opinion data on these topics.
