Religious Convictions of Immigrants

With this geographic shift, it is likely that the religious makeup of legal immigrants also has been changing. The U.S. government, however, does not keep track of the religion of new permanent residents. As a result, the figures on religious affiliation in this report are estimates produced by combining government statistics on the birthplaces of new green card recipients over the period between 1992 and 2012 with the best available U.S. survey data on the religious self-identification of new

immigrants from each major country of origin.

Why a Norwegian flag? Because there are more people of Norwegian heritage here in America than there are in Norway!
