About one in ten Asian Americans are Hindu (10%), and they mostly adopt aspects of America’s predominantly Christian culture while also maintaining their traditional beliefs and practices, Pew Research Center’s recent poll has found.
According to the poll, Buddhists and Hindus today account for about the same share of the US public as Jews.
While Christians are the largest religious group among US Asian adults (42%), the unaffiliated form comes second (26%), Buddhists are third (14%), followed by Hindus (10%), Muslims (4%) and Sikhs (1%).
