20% of Americans Share Religious Faith on Social Networks

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.
