October 26, 2016 (Pew Forum): Although the majority of U.S. adults report that they were raised in families with a single religious faith, roughly one-in-five (21%) say they were raised by parents who came from different religious traditions, according to a new Pew Research Center study. <\/p>\n<p>The study helps outline the changing religious landscape in the United States, where about one-in-ten adults (9%) say they were raised by two people, both of whom were religiously affiliated but with different religious backgrounds. An additional 12% say they were raised by one person who was religiously affiliated (with, for example, Protestantism, Catholicism, Judaism or another religion) and another person who was religiously unaffiliated (atheist, agnostic or &#8220;nothing in particular&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>Religiously mixed backgrounds remain the exception in America. Roughly eight-in-ten U.S. adults (79%) say they were raised within a single religion, either by two parents who had the same faith or by a single parent. But the number of Americans raised in religiously mixed homes appears to be growing. Fully one-quarter of young adults in the Millennial generation (27%) say they were raised in a religiously mixed family. The religious backgrounds of young adults also stand out in other ways. For example, nearly one-quarter of Millennials (24%) say they were raised by at least one parent who was a religious &#8220;none&#8221; (religiously unaffiliated).<\/p>\n<p>Read the full report at &#8220;source&#8221; above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source WASHINGTON, D.C.
