Summary

The July 2012 Religion & Public Life Survey, sponsored by the Pew Research Center and the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, obtained telephone interviews with a nationally representative sample of 3,484 adults living in the United States. Interviews were conducted via landline (N=1,992) and cell phone (N=1,492; including 774 without a landline phone). The survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. The interviews were administered in English and Spanish by Princeton Data Source and Universal Survey Center from June 28 to July 10, 2012. Weights are provided to correct known demographic discrepancies.

Collection Procedures

The survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. The interviews were administered in English and Spanish by Princeton Data Source and Universal Survey Center from June 28 to July 10, 2012.

Sampling Procedures

Six sample segments were used for data collection in order to obtain a representative general population sample while also oversampling the religiously unaffiliated. Interviews were conducted using a combination of random digit dialing (i.e., RDD) landline (n=1,771), RDD cell (n=1,202), RDD landline screened for religiously unaffiliated (n=91), RDD cell screened for religiously unaffiliated (n=170), and callback samples (n=250).
