Findings show that while most U.S. adults were raised with a strong religious identity and regular participation in organized religion, far fewer are maintaining those same levels of practice in adulthood.\n\nNext, we turn to how social media is shaping Americans' thinking about democracy itself. A recent study finds that heavy social media users are more likely to feel politically empowered and believe citizens can influence government, but they are also less likely than lighter users to say democracy is the best form of government.\n\nAnd finally, we go way back to the 40s and talk about minimum wage for our fun fact.\n\nmaristpoll.com/podcast"}
