Religion and spirituality among LGBT Americans

Black circle with white cutouts.
This Pew Research Center analysis explores how adults who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender approach religion and spirituality.

Description

Americans who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) tend to be less religious than those who are not LGBT. In addition, adults who are lesbian, gay or bisexual have more negative views than other U.S. adults do about religion, though many say religion plays some positive roles in society. But when it comes to some questions about spirituality – such as whether human beings have a soul or spirit – the gaps between lesbian, gay or bisexual adults and other people tend to be smaller. This Pew Research Center analysis explores how adults who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender approach religion and spirituality. Our findings hold even after controlling for age and other demographic traits.
