Faith among Black Americans

Sharing core norms and values
Apr 18, 2021 | Pew Research Center,

In this report, the Pew Research Center lays out the rich diversity of American Black people and distinctive aspects of their religious lives. A survey of 8,660 Black Americans, conducted from November 2019 to June 2020, revealed that 60 percent of Black adults attend religious services at places where most or all of the other attendees, as well as the senior clergy, are Black. Far fewer (25 percent) attend houses of worship with multiracial congregations or clergy or congregations that are predominantly White, or of another race or ethnicity, such as Hispanic or Asian (13 percent). Two-thirds of Black Americans (66 percent) are Protestant, six percent are Catholic and three percent identify with other Christian faiths - mostly Jehovah’s Witnesses. Another three percent belong to non-Christian faiths, the most prominent of which is Islam.
