Statistics, organizations

Data and statistics on religion are notoriously difficult (and in some cases controversial) to gather.  Here are some scholarly organizations that do some work in this area:

  • Pew Research Center on Religion & Public Life, Religious Landscape Study
     
  • "Religious Affiliation in Texas", Texas Almanac, Texas State Historical Association
    based on ARDA (Association of Religion Data Archives): U.S. Congregational Membership: Reports
     
  • Handbook of Texas Online, John W. Storey, "Religion,"  http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/izrdf
     
  • Database of Religious History (DRH) -- "Online quantitative and qualitative encyclopedia of religious cultural history."
    "The DRH is designed to be a community resource for religious historians, a centralized, constantly-updated, open access repository for the state of the art in scholarly opinion on religious history. Its minimal gatekeeping also facilitates broad reach and inclusiveness: only qualified experts can contribute, but they can volunteer themselves from anywhere in the world, rather than having to be known to and selected by a single editor or small group of editors. The result should be a much more comprehensive and diverse snapshot of scholarly opinion in any given field."
