NEWS RELEASE

Varied regional culture may affect individual expression of religion in US
Religious expression in the workplace — from wearing symbols of one’s beliefs to discussing faith at work — varies from geographic location to location, with Christians more likely to express their faith in the South, Jews most likely in the Northeast and Muslims most likely to do so out West, according to a new paper from researchers at Rice's Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance and its Religion and Public Life Program, Purdue University, West Virginia University and Wheaton College.
