Released in January 2021, this Pew Research Center report discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on religious beliefs. Relying on data from a summer 2020 survey of "14 economically developed countries," researchers found that "nearly 3-in-10 U.S. adults say the outbreak has boosted their faith," and "about 4-in-10 say it has tightened family bonds." Throughout the report, readers will find useful charts that show responses by country (representative of four continents), as well as other categories (such as income). In addition to statistical analysis, the report provides a historical and social backdrop, including discussion on the trends toward secularization and the influence of familial relationships. Unsurprisingly, the report draws attention to the number of adults that returned to their family homes amid the pandemic, and the report concludes by highlighting that "half of U.S. adults ages 18 to 29 say their family bonds have tightened, compared with 38 percent of those ages 50 and older." This age-based finding is similar in other countries, too.
