New Yorker - As of 2020, according [a Public Religion Research Institute survey], the United States is forty-two-per-cent white Christians. Twenty-five per cent are Christian people of color; of those, a fifth are Hispanics, and almost seventy per cent of Hispanic Christians are Catholics. Six per cent of Americans are Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Unitarian Universalist, or other; and twenty-seven per cent are religiously unaffiliated. That last estimate has risen eleven percentage points since 2006....
Since 2013, the proportion of Hispanic Catholics who go to Mass regularly has dropped in near-lockstep with the proportion of white Catholics who do (from seventy-two per cent to forty-seven per cent among Hispanics; from sixty-eight per cent to forty-five per cent among whites). Meanwhile, the proportions of Hispanic Catholics and white Catholics who consider religion “not important” in their lives have risen together (from two per cent to thirteen per cent among Hispanics; from seven per cent to sixteen per cent among whites).
