Is the World Becoming More Religious?

Join us on November 18 at 2 PM for a discussion of the Pew Research Center’s new report analyzing religious trends from 2010 to 2020 with Dr. Gina Zurlo, a senior researcher and lecturer in World Christianity at Harvard Divinity School and editor of the World Christian Database and World Religion Database, and Conrad Hackett, senior demographer at Pew.

A key finding of Pew’s report is the significant growth of the religiously unaffiliated as a percentage of the world’s population, raising the question: is the world becoming more or less religious? Zurlo and Hackett will address this and other questions arising from the report, based on their differing perspectives of what makes “good data” in the sociology of religion.
