74 apps out of the 3,400 + analyzed collect and sometimes share political and religious affiliations.

Among these, the vast majority are dating apps (47), followed by seven social media services and six medical applications.

The most popular dating apps are the ones collecting these details the most.

Many apps claim to do so for app functionality, but the justifications are vague and questionable.
