NEW FROM PEW RESEARCH CENTER

 

When it comes to religion, American teenagers and their parents tend to have a lot in common – though not quite as much as the parents may think. A major new report based on a Pew Research Center survey of about 1,800 U.S. teens and one parent of each teen finds that while many teens take after their parents religiously and enjoy family rituals, American adolescents often participate at their parents’ behest, and tend to be less religious than their parents in more personal, private ways.

A blog post highlights 10 key findings from the report.
