Ryan P. Burge (born 1982) is an American political scientist, statistician, and former pastor.
For 17 years until summer 2024, Burge was an American Baptist pastor. A professor of practice at Washington University in St. Louis, and former associate professor at Eastern Illinois University, he is best known for his work on religion in the United States. 60 Minutes has termed him one of the "leading data analysts on religion and politics" within the United States.
Burge has argued that secular voters represent a growing force in American politics. His research finds that the majority of "nones" have religion-like beliefs and believe in some conception of a higher power, despite not affiliating with a religion. Burge has argued that the term "evangelical" is becoming associated with politics, particularly that of conservatism, rather than its traditional association with adherence to evangelical theology.
