Religious importance by group

Pew Research Center's bar chart drew 38.6K views on X: 2.6x its typical post and #21 of 53 Pew Research Center charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.

Latter-day Saints are, on average, among the most religious Americans.

Why it spread

The post spread because it came from an independent author with a large source reach in the top quarter, and it earned 637 likes, 100 reposts, 26 quotes, 83 saves and 38,566 views, with a quote rate above average driven by many quotes.

What worked

  • The post pairs a clear bar chart showing that most Latter-day Saints say religion is very important with a plain text summary of roughly seven-in-ten Latter-day Saints across three practices.
  • It uses a branded chart with a visible source line, which supports trust even though the design polish is low and the self labelling is medium.
  • It frames the finding around a specific group and a simple takeaway, which makes the chart easy to quote and share.

What to borrow

We could use the same form by taking one clear group comparison from our own data, stating the main finding in one sentence, and listing a few concrete measures beneath it so readers can quote the point directly.

Careful

Do not copy the exact topic or assume the same result will follow, since the spread came from an independent author, a top quarter source reach and an above average quote rate, not from the chart design alone.
