Disclaimer: The following dashboards were designed to enable audiences of The State of Religion & Young People 2021 to explore more nuanced and detailed data cross-sections. While each of these data visualizations encompass the entire sample of the publication, the total N for many of the breakdowns are considerably smaller. Each additional filter that is selected reduces the number of people represented even further. For this reason, the data in these graphs are informational only–designed to be used for conversation, consideration, and future research. Put differently, these percentages are directional, not conclusive. Data from these visualizations should not be cited, published, or quoted.
