------------------------------------------------------------
Our households – who lives with us, how we are related to them and what role we play in that shared space – have a profound effect on our daily experience of the world. A new Pew Research Center analysis ([link removed]) of data from 130 countries and territories reveals that the size and composition of households often vary by religious affiliation. Worldwide, Muslims live in the biggest households, followed by Hindus. Christians fall in the middle, forming relatively large families in sub-Saharan Africa and smaller ones in Europe. Buddhists, Jews and the religiously unaffiliated live in smaller households, on average.

Adults in the U.S. South tend to be more religious than Americans in other parts of the country on a variety of traditional measures. They’re more likely to say that religion is very important to them, that they believe in God with absolute certainty and that they pray daily. And even though teacher-led religious activity in public schools has been restricted by U.S. courts, students retain the right to freely exercise their religion in school, with teens in the South expressing their religion in school ([link removed]) more often than teens in other parts of the country, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey ([link removed]) .
