Primary sources
We draw on original research like Pew, Gallup, and the American Bible Society, not aggregators.
Dated figures
Each statistic is dated to the year the data was collected, so nothing reads as timeless.
Reviewed and updated
Pages are revised as new research is released, and contested evidence is flagged as such.
Every statistic in this hub is traced to a primary source, such as Pew Research Center, Gallup, the American Bible Society, or peer-reviewed research, and dated to the year the data was collected. We link each figure to the original study, note the definitions and caveats behind it, and revise pages as new research is released. Where the evidence is mixed or contested, we say so rather than pick the most flattering number.
