Despite their small share, Muslims in the U.S. exhibit a wide range of religious and demographic traits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study found that six-in-ten Muslim adults consider religion very important in their lives, a figure comparable to the 55% observed among Christians. Additionally, 93% of Muslims believe in God or a higher power, closely mirroring Christian beliefs. Prayer habits among Muslims also reflect religious traditions, with 59% reporting they pray several times daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-09-133756-1024x679.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-128697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-09-133756-1024x679.png 1024w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-09-133756-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-09-133756-768x509.png 768w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-09-133756.png 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike Christians and religiously unaffiliated Americans, who are predominantly White, Muslim Americans are racially and ethnically diverse. Approximately 30% identify as White, 30% as Asian, 20% as Black, and 11% as Hispanic. A significant majority (59%) of Muslim adults were born outside the United States, underscoring the immigrant roots of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Education levels among Muslims are notably high, with 44% holding college degrees and 26% possessing advanced degrees, surpassing the rates seen in other religious groups. The Muslim population also skews younger, with 35% aged 18 to 29, and many are actively raising children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A comprehensive survey by the Pew Research Center\u2019s Religious Landscape Study has shed light on the characteristics of Muslim Americans, revealing a richly diverse community that constitutes roughly 1% of the adult U.S. population.
