A new survey by Pew Research Center shows a growing share of Americans believe religion is becoming more influential in public life, but most still oppose churches endorsing political candidates or taking sides in day--to--day political debates, the Christian Daily website reports today (May 27, 2026).
The survey, conducted April 6--12 among 3,592 U.S. adults, found that 37% now say religion is gaining influence in American life --the highest proportion recorded in Pew surveys going back to 2002. That figure has climbed 19 percentage points in just two years.
Despite the uptick in perceived influence , 79% of respondents said churches and other houses of worship should not endorse candidates during elections.Two--thirds said religious institutions should stay out of day--to--day social and political matters. Those figures have changed little in recent years.
