** In U.S., familiarity with religious groups is associated with warmer feelings toward them ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Americans who personally know someone in a religious group different from their own – or who have at least some knowledge about that group – generally are more likely to have positive feelings about members of that group than those who don’t, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey.

** Views about marriage and cohabitation differ by religious group ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
As marriage rates have declined, the share of U.S. adults who have ever lived with an unmarried partner has risen. But views about cohabitation differ by religion, a new Pew Research Center survey ([link removed]) finds. While roughly three-quarters of Catholics and non-evangelical white Protestants say it’s acceptable for an unmarried couple to live together even if they don’t plan to get married, smaller shares of black Protestants and white evangelical Protestants share this view.
