- Description
-
This project examined the connections between religion and social capital so as to understand better the place of religion in the civic infrastructure of the United States. These grants supported the survey Faith Matters 2006 (FM 2006) and a subsequent panel study FM 2007, which examined the impact of religious belonging, behaving, and believing on levels of social capital. The data provided precise measurements of religious belief and behavior to help scholars determine their relative stability among different sub-populations and as compared to non-religious beliefs and behaviors.
