Question

What are some of the smaller religions that are growing in importance?

Answer 1

Judaism

Islam

Buddhism

Hinduism

Step-by-step explanation:

Judaism is the largest non-Christian faith in America

Islam also has a growing presence in the U.S. The Muslim population increased by 0.5 percentage points from 2007 to 2014, from 0.4 percent to 0.9 percent.

The Buddhist share of the U.S. population was constant at 0.7 percent from 2007 to 2014. Consistency was also the theme of the group's spiritual practices with Pew observing only modest changes in the way Buddhists prayed and worshipped.

Hindus now represent an equal share of the U.S. population as Buddhists because the community grew 0.3 percentage points over seven years.

Answer 2

According to the Pew Research Center, some of the smaller religions that are growing in importance include African traditional religions, Chinese folk religions, Native American religions, Australian aboriginal religions, Baha'is, Jains, Sikhs, Taoists, and many other smaller faiths. These religions are projected to increase by approximately 11% from a total of approximately 58 million to more than 61 million over the same period.
