A majority of Americans have a friend of a different religion

About six-in-ten U.S. adults say only some (43%) or hardly any or none (18%) of their friends have the same religion they do.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Americans who highly value religion are much more likely to have friendship circles where most people are from their own religious tradition. More than four-in-ten U.S. adults who say religion is very or somewhat important in their lives (44%) say all or most of their friends have the same religion they do. Just a quarter of those who say religion is not too or not at all important in their lives report the same.
