I am thrilled to announce we have a sponsor for the show, and it's a group I've relied on for many,

many years, the Pew Research Center. And the thing they do that I love the most is someone who

enjoys religion and stats is the religious landscape study, which Pew has been conducting for

nearly 20 years. With responses from over 35,000 Americans across all 50 states, the religious landscape study is a comprehensive look at faith, beliefs, and identity in our lives and our country.

It's the largest single survey Pew Research Center conducts aiming to provide authoritative information on the size and characteristics of U.S. religious groups, because guess what?

The Census Bureau does not collect that information. On the Religious Landscape Studies

Interactive website, you can find survey data by metro area, state, or region, or for the whole

United States. You can also explore the social and political views and demographic traits

of U.S. religious groups. Pew Research Center conducts high-quality research to inform the public,

journalists, and leaders about the issues, attitudes, and trends shaping our world.

Studying trends in U.S. religion is a key part of the Center's longstanding research

agenda. To learn more about the religious landscape study and dive into the data yourself,

visit puresearch.org slash RLS. And with that, hello. Hi again. Hi. You are going to Washington.

What are the details about that?

I'm leaving tomorrow.

I am doing a friendly atheist meetup at this Noquamie Falls Brewery.

I believe it's called a brew house.

7 o'clock, the 21st, that's Saturday.

Very much looking forward to seeing people.

You will get to meet the opportunity to meet an old, old friend of mine who was like my

OG, wait, you're a Christian and I'm an atheist, but we're best friends kind of deal.

I haven't seen her since 2009.
