MISSION STATEMENT<br />
<strong>The</strong> Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life seeks to promote a deeper understanding of issues at the intersection of religion and public<br />
affairs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Forum pursues its mission by delivering impartial information to national opinion leaders, including government officials and<br />
journalists. As a nonpartisan, non-advocacy organization, the Forum does not take positions on policy debates.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Forum functions as both a clearinghouse and a town hall. As a clearinghouse, it gathers and disseminates objective information<br />
through polls and reports. As a town hall, it provides a neutral venue through its various issue roundtables and briefings for<br />
discussions of important issues where religion and domestic and international politics intersect.<br />
Founding year 2001.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Forum focuses on four key areas of research:<br />
BACKGROUND AND ACTIVITIES<br />
Religion and Politics<br />
<strong>The</strong> Forum’s polling, publications and events focus on the influence of religion and religious organizations on political behaviour,<br />
including voting and campaigns.<br />
Religion and the Law<br />
<strong>The</strong> Forum analyzes church-state controversies such as recent Supreme Court battles over the Ten Commandments, the Pledge of<br />
Allegiance and school vouchers.<br />
Religion and Domestic Policy<br />
<strong>The</strong> Forum examines a wide range of policy debates – from abortion and gay marriage to stem cell research and faith-based<br />
initiatives.<br />
Religion and World Affairs<br />
<strong>The</strong> Forum explores the integral role religion plays in world affairs, with a particular focus on religion’s impact on U.S. foreign policy.
