Summary

The PRRI/RNS Religion News Survey was conducted by Public Religion Research Institute to examine attitudes on breaking news and emerging issues at the intersection of religion and politics. This survey examined which holiday respondents' would be celebrating in the month of December and what type of activities (i.e., lighting advent candles, singing Christmas carols, reading the Bible) they would engage in during the holidays. The survey also asked Americans how stores and businesses should greet customers during the holidays.

The ARDA has added six additional variables to the original data set to enhance the users' experience on our site.

Public Religion Research Institute

Collection Procedures

Telephone interviews were conducted in English only under the direction of Opinion Research Corporation among a nationwide sample of 1,015 adults, 18 years of age or older in the continental United States. Interviews were conducted from December 9, 2010 to December 12, 2010. All interviews were conducted on landline telephones. The randomly sampled telephone numbers were subject to up to four different call attempts.

Sampling Procedures

The sample was derived by an unrestricted random-digit dial procedure, which minimizes serial bias and includes both listed and unlisted telephone numbers. Only one interview was conducted within an individual household. The sample was fully replicated and stratified by region to increase its representativeness.
