Global Religion and Migration Database
01 Mar 2012

religious affiliation of international migrants


To better understand the religious affiliation of international migrants, the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life began more than a year ago
to build the Global Religion and Migration Database - a dataset representing about half a million cells of information. This data was collected from hundreds of
censuses and surveys and together shed light on the origins, destinations and religious affiliations of international migrants as of 2010. The dataset is made available
as part of the World Religion Database.

Global Christianity
01 Jan 2012

Pew Forum reports on Christianity


The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life have released another in a series of reports on global religions, this time Christianity.
Much of the census and survey data analysed in the report are available in the World Religion Database, or will be within the year, together with the WRD's own best estimates which were used in the report for places where censuses and survey data alone was inadequate.
See the full report at the Pew research website.
