Christian: Data on religion and churches
Somehow in the research for my thesis, I'd missed (until tonight) the Association of Religion Data Archives, a massive repository of all sorts of statistical data about churches, church attendance, and faith issues.
For instance, did you know there were over 11 million more church attenders in the year 2000 than in 1990? Or that there are over 900 congregations in the greater Grand Rapids metro area? Cheers to Penn State, the Lilly Endowment, and the John Templeton Foundation for making this resource available.
