20% of Americans Share Religious Faith on Social Networks

People still prefer sharing about their religious faith in real life, though.

In an average week, 20 percent of U.S. adults will post about their religion on social media, according to a survey by Pew Research. Forty-six percent of respondents reported seeing someone share their faith on social platforms.

The survey was conducted in May and June of 2014, and had 3,217 respondents. While the social-sharing stats largely correspond with other religious activity (watching religious TV, listening to religious talk radio or music), a far greater portion of Americans talk about their religious views in real life than online.
