Answer: (we have 2 points)
1. Americans and new immigrants (1.4% and 1.3%, respectively), Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus are substantially over-represented compared with the U.S. population. Muslims comprise 7% of new immigrants but just 0.6% of all Americans; and for Buddhists the respective figures are 4.3% for immigrants and 0.6% for Americans, whereas for Hindus the figures are 5.6% for immigrants and 0.4% for Americans.
2. turn to focus on comparisons between adult immigrant respondents and the U.S. adult population, and here the differences are sharper and indeed statistically quite significant. As can be seen, immigrants are far less likely to be Christian than are Americans; and among those who are Christian, immigrants are far more likely to be Catholic or Orthodox than Protestant. Whereas 81% of adult Americans are Christian and 55% are Protestant, only 67% of new immigrants reported themselves to be Christian and just 17% were Protestant. Likewise, just 0.3% of Americans are Orthodox and 26% Catholic, but among new immigrants the respective figures were 9% and 41%.
