The Religious Diversity of Asian Americans


The Pew Forum On Religion and Public Life’s publication on Asian American religious affiliations illustrates the wide variety of faiths amongst the Asian demographic.  42 percent of Asian Americans are Christian, an additional 14% are Buddhist, and one in ten practice Hinduism.  Over a quarter of Asians are also religiously unaffiliated.  Inspecting Asian-American subgroups further displays the wide range of beliefs.  For instance, 65% of Filipino Americans are Catholic, 43% of Vietnamese Americans are Buddhist, and 61% of Korean Americans are Protestant. Additionally, one-third of Asian adults no longer ascribe to the religious group of their upbringing.
