Americans are more likely than people in other developed countries to say their faith has strengthened during the pandemic, according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center.
The survey, published on Wednesday, found that while more than two-thirds of Americans (68%) said their faith "has not changed much" during the coronavirus pandemic, almost one-third of Americans (28%) said their faith has grown stronger because of the pandemic.
