The Most Educated Religious Groups In America

A new report from the Pew Research Center offers one of the most detailed looks at how educational attainment differs across religious groups in America.

The findings come from Pew’s 2023-24 Religious Landscape Study, a survey of 36,908 U.S. adults. Because of its large sample size, researchers were able to analyze not only broad religious categories, but also specific denominations within Protestantism and other traditions.

The headline finding: Hindus and Jews stand apart by a wide margin.
