    Description

    This Religion and State-Minorities (RASM) dataset is supplemental to the Religion and State Round 2 (RAS2) dataset. It codes the RAS religious discrimination variable using the minority as the unit of analysis (RAS2 uses a country as the unit of analysis and, is a general measure of all discrimination in the country). RASM codes religious discrimination by governments against all 566 minorities in 175 countries which make a minimum population cut off. Any religious minority which is at least 0.25 percent of the population or has a population of at least 500,000 (in countries with populations of 200 million or more) are included. The dataset also includes all Christian minorities in Muslim countries and all Muslim minorities in Christian countries for a total of 597 minorities. The data cover 1990 to 2008 with yearly codings.

    These religious discrimination variables are designed to examine restrictions the government places on the practice of religion by minority religious groups. It is important to clarify two points. First, these variables focus on restrictions on minority religions. Restrictions that apply to all religions are not coded in this set of variables. This is because the act of restricting or regulating the religious practices of minorities is qualitatively different from restricting or regulating all religions. Second, this set of variables focuses only on restrictions of the practice of religion itself or on religious institutions and does not include other types of restrictions on religious minorities. The reasoning behind this is that there is much more likely to be a religious motivation for restrictions on the practice of religion than there is for political, economic, or cultural restrictions on a religious minority. These secular types of restrictions, while potentially motivated by religion, also can be due to other reasons. That political, economic, and cultural restrictions are often placed on ethnic minorities who share the same religion and the majority group in their state is proof of this.

    This set of variables is essentially a list of specific types of religious restrictions which a government may place on some or all minority religions. These variables are identical to those included in the RAS2 dataset, save that one is not included because it focuses on foreign missionaries and this set of variables focuses on minorities living in the country. Each of the items in this category is coded on the following scale:

    0. The activity is not restricted or the government does not engage in this practice.
    1. The activity is restricted slightly or sporadically or the government engages in a mild form of this practice or a severe form sporadically.
    2. The activity is significantly restricted or the government engages in this activity often and on a large scale.

    A composite version combining the variables to create a measure of religious discrimination against minority religions which ranges from 0 to 48 also is included.

    ARDA Note: This file was revised on October 6, 2017. At the PIs request, we removed the variable reporting on the minority's percentage of a country's population after finding inconsistencies with the reported values. For detailed data on religious demographics, see the "/data-archive?fid=RCSREG2" Target="_blank">Religious Characteristics of States Dataset Project.

    Description

    This data set is part of the following publication:

    Jetten, M. (2018). Knowledge of interaction styles and dimensions of interpretation in interreligious adult education. An empirical study of the effects of a hermeneutic-communicative curriculum. Radboud University. Münster: LIT Verlag.

    This book reports on an evaluation study of a curriculum on interreligious dialogue among Christian and Muslims adults in the Netherlands. It was organized as a PhD-project between 2007 and 2013 at the Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies of Radboud University, financed by Stichting Nieuwegen.

    The primary aim of this research is to explain the contribution of a curriculum to knowledge of interaction styles and hermeneutic distinctions that are used to express and interpret the views on religious phenomena of adherents from different religious traditions. We consider knowledge of communication and interpretation conditional for mutual understanding between adherents of different religious traditions. We refer to this as hermeneutic-communicative learning. The focus of this dissertation is not solely religious phenomena, but the way that participants express and interpret these phenomena. Hence, the research goal of this study is: explaining the contribution of a hermeneutic-communicative curriculum using the method of mediated learning to the acquisition of knowledge of interaction styles and dimensions for interpreting religious phenomena.

    This study uses a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test, based on two non-equivalent groups (“untreated non-equivalent control group design with pre-test and post-test”, Cook & Campbell 1979, 103-129). To study the effects of participation in our curriculum, we distinguish two research groups, an experimental group that participates in the intervention, and a control group that does not participate. In both groups a pre-test and a post-test is held, respectively before and after the intervention.

    Our research population are Christian and Muslim adults in the Netherlands who are interested in interreligious meetings. To be able to reliably estimate the characteristics of the research population, we required a sample of at least 400 respondents in total, with 200 participants in the experimental group and 200 in the control group. Regarding the experimental group, we aimed at 20 curriculum locations, each with about twelve participants, making sure that respondent still feel secure to exchange religious beliefs and practices in a personal and informal way. We sought a group distribution of at least a third Christians or a third Muslims at each location. Regarding religion, the relative number of Christians in the control group appeared to be higher than in the experimental group. Therefore, in the analyses, we randomly reduced the number of Christians in the control group by 40%, by deleting the third and fifth of each five Christian respondents in the control group. This resulted in a total number of 260 respondents in the experimental group and 132 respondents in the control group.

    Part of this research project of Radboud University is the material for an interreligious course. It has been developed for Christian and Muslim adults with interest in interreligious communication. Participants get acquainted with a practical method that eases interreligious dialogue, focused at both enriching one’s own religious identity as well as getting familiar with the religion of the other. Focus is learning to communicate from the personal perspective, applied to substantive themes from Christianity and Islam.

    The religion people connect or identify with (their religious affiliation), whether or not they practise or have belief in it.
    This question was voluntary and the variable includes people who answered the question, including “No religion”, alongside those who chose not to answer this question.

    Total counts for some population groups may not match between published tables. This is to protect the confidentiality of individuals' data. Population counts have been rounded to the nearest 5 and any counts below 10 are suppressed, this is signified by a 'c' in the data tables.

    This dataset shows population counts for usual residents aged between 16 to 64 years old only. This is to focus on religious affiliation differences among the working age. Population counts in these tables may be different from other publications which use different age breakdowns.

    This dataset shows population counts for usual residents aged 16 years and over. Some people aged 16 years old will not have completed key stage 4 yet on census day, and so did not have the opportunity to record any qualifications on the census.

    These estimates are not comparable to Department of Education figures on highest level of attainment because they include qualifications obtained outside England and Wales.

    Description

    Null Hypotheses (H-not/H0) :- Are religious people more happy, and does it contribute to a better experience of life? ----------------------AND in the same vein ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Is the increasing trend of Atheism directly related to increasing reported levels of ADHD, depression and suicide rates around the world?

    The research :- A slew of research suggests that religious people are happier, are better at keeping family ties, contribute to society more by being involved in the community, report better life experience and are better able to cope with life's setbacks like Divorce. Is this true? Below is a random list of research I found from googling :-

    (1) https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/more-mortal/201212/are-religious-people-happier-non-religious-people (2) https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/curious/201510/does-being-religious-make-us-happy (3) http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2016/02/02/office-for-national-statistics-well-being-data_n_9138076.html (4) https://www.unilad.co.uk/news/new-research-shows-religious-people-are-happier-than-atheists/ (5) https://www.christiantoday.com/article/why-religious-people-are-happier-and-how-to-share-the-joy/78581.htm (6) http://www.pewforum.org/2016/04/12/religion-in-everyday-life/

    What the Quran says :- Having graduated from the London School of Economics (2004, Bsc Hons) and having been greatly influenced by Richard Dawkins, books like "The God Delusion" etc. for about 7 years and seeking extensively through the various religious/self development traditions including Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, The Landmark Forum and Tai Chi, I converted to Islam 4 years ago. I can personally attest to having a much greater experience of life and feeling peace and tranquility and calmness in my heart. In the Sufi tradition, the heart is the kernel of connecting to God (Allah), and the seat of God consciousness :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqNPVP6GerM&index=1&list=PLwFLXkJiBtuza1uSJHsB8MJCfQ9l7h8jf

    Allah says in the Quran :- "And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life,...." [Quran 20:124]

    And Allah also says in the Quran :- "Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured." [Quran 13:28]

    Dataset :- The data set regarding population is the gross population by country taken from the World Bank Data Site, link here :- https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.TOTL?locations=US&view=chart

    Can you :- Look at populations around the world using the dataset, and look at suicide levels, depression levels, reported ADHD levels, and anxiety levels and find a correlation between the increasing trend of atheism in the world and these reported markers.

    Description

    The RCS-Dem dataset reports estimates of religious demographics, both country by country and region by region. RCS was created to fulfill the unmet need for a dataset on the religious dimensions of countries of the world, with the state-year as the unit of observation. It covers 220 independent states, 26 selected substate entities, and 41 geographically separated dependencies, for every year from 2015 back to 1900 and often 1800 (more than 42,000 state-years). It estimates populations and percentages of adherents of 100 religious denominations including second level subdivisions within Christianity and Islam, along with several complex categories such as 'Western Christianity.' RCS is designed for easy merger with datasets of the Correlates of War and Polity projects, datasets by the United Nations, the Religion And State datasets by Jonathan Fox, and the ARDA national profiles.

    Description

    Religion and Bangladesh

    Religion in Bangladesh is a sensitive issue, mostly because Bangladesh is officially a secular state but recognizes Islam as an official, state religion. Historically and doctrinally, Islamic scholars don’t accept nations that are secular because they think that religion, society and private life are all part of the great community they like to call ‘umma’.

    The main religion in Bangladesh is Islam because it is practiced by almost 90 percent of the country’s population. The rest of 10 percent adhere to Hinduism. The type of Islam that is practiced in Bangladesh is Sunni Islam with a lot of Sufi influences. Sunni is the most numerous branch of Islam in the world. Countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia have Sunni majority populations. The Sufi practices that influence the Islamic religion in Bangladesh are commonly known as mysticism. Sufi followers are poor men that don’t eat, don’t drink and spend their days in deep prayer in order to achieve spiritual connection with God.

    Bangladesh has the fourth largest Muslim population in the world, with over 130 million followers, right after Indonesia, Pakistan and India. In its constitution, Bangladesh is recognized as a secular state. For a short period of time, when Bangladesh was under Pakistani rule, Islam was made the state’s official religion. But the Supreme Court or High Court of Bangladesh ruled that Bangladesh must return to the principles of the 1972 constitution, meaning that it mustn’t have an official religion.

    The problem with Islam gaining too much power in Bangladesh is that it unbalances the genders issues. Islamic edicts or fatwas have been issued mostly against women by religious courts as punishments for their nonreligious behavior. Global NGO’s are fighting such edicts in order to maintain a fair judgment when it comes to men and women. Bangladesh is a country where gender issues, as well as religious issues are very sensitive subjects.

    MP Religion & Assisted Dying Dashboard

    This data powers a dashboard presenting insights into the religious affiliations and Assisted Dying voting patterns of UK Members of Parliament (MPs). It can be found here:

    👉 https://davidjeffery.shinyapps.io/mp-religion/.

    Please cite all uses of the data.

    📊 What is this dashboard?

    This dashboard presents insights into the religious affiliations and Assisted Dying voting patterns of UK Members of Parliament. It combines publicly available data to support transparency and understanding of Parliament’s composition.

    📂 Where does the data come from?

    The data is compiled from publicly available parliamentary records and voting data. You can download it directly from the link in the header or view it in the Raw Data tab of the dashboard.

    🙏 How is religion determined?

    There are three steps to determining religion. An MP is classified as having a religion based on the following criteria:

    1. If the MP is a member of a religiously based group, they are classified as a member of that religion.

    2. If a member has publicly spoken about their religion, they are classified as a member of that religion.

    3. Finally, the text an MP swore in on is used to help infer their religion.

    These sources are used in order of priority. For example, Tim Farron is a member of Christians in Parliament and has spoken about his religious views. However, he did not take the oath on the Bible, but made a solemn affirmation on no text. Regardless, he is still classed as Christian.

    🧾 Variable Reference

    What do those variable names mean?

    • Member IDmember_id – A unique numeric identifier for each MP provided by Parliament.

    • Namedisplay_as – The full display name of the MP.

    • Gendergender – The MP’s gender.

    • Partyparty – The full political party name.

    • Party (Simplified)party_simple – A shortened or cleaned version of the party name.

    • Religionmp_final_relig – The MP’s classified religion based on multiple criteria outlined above.

    • AD: 2nd Reading Voteass_suicide_2nd – The MP’s vote (Yes, No, Abstain) on the Assisted Dying Bill 2nd Reading.

    • AD: 3rd Reading Voteass_suicide_3rd – The MP’s vote (Yes, No, Abstain) on the Assisted Dying Bill 3rd Reading.

    • LGBT Statuslgbt – Whether the MP is publicly identified as LGBT (LGBT.MP).

    • Ethnic Minorityethnic_mp – Whether the MP identifies as an ethnic minority.

    • Religious Group: Christianrelig_christian – MP belongs to a Christian group (1 = Yes).

    • Religious Group: Muslimrelig_muslim – MP belongs to a Muslim group (1 = Yes).

    • Religious Group: Jewishrelig_jewish – MP belongs to a Jewish group (1 = Yes).

    • Religious Group: Sikhrelig_sikh – MP belongs to a Sikh group (1 = Yes).

    • Oath Takenmp_swear – Whether the MP took the Oath or made an Affirmation.

    • Oath Bookmp_swear_book – The specific religious text (e.g., Bible, Quran) used when swearing in.

    • Inferred Religionmp_inferred_relig – The religion inferred from the swearing-in text.

    • Election Outcomeelected – Whether the MP was re-elected in the most recent election.

    • Majoritymajority – The MP’s vote share margin.

    • % White (Census)cen_eth_white – Proportion of white ethnicity in the constituency.

    • % Christiancen_rel_christian – Constituency Christian population from the Census.

    • % Buddhistcen_rel_buddhist – Constituency Buddhist population.

    • % Hinducen_rel_hindu – Constituency Hindu population.

    • % Jewishcen_rel_jewish – Constituency Jewish population.

    • % Muslimcen_rel_muslim – Constituency Muslim population.

    • % Sikhcen_rel_sikh – Constituency Sikh population.

    • % No Religioncen_rel_no religion – Constituents identifying as non-religious.

    • % No Qualificationscen_qual_none – Constituents with no formal qualifications.

    • % Graduatescen_qual_grad – Constituents with degree-level education.

    • % Some Disabilitycen_disab_some – Constituents reporting a form of disability.

    ✝️ Why are Catholics separate from Christians?

    Don’t worry, I’m not suggesting we bring back the Test Acts. The logic here is that more granular data is better.

    When swearing in, there are versions of the Bible specific to Catholics — typically the New Jerusalem Bible or the Douay–Rheims Bible — whereas if someone just asks for “the Bible”, they are given the King James Version and could be from any Christian denomination.

    It would be a shame to lose that detail, so I provide the option to break out Catholic MPs separately.

    📚 Where can I find more information about swearing in and the parliamentary oath?

    The Parliament website has a great guide:

    👉 https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/elections-and-voting/swearingin/

    👤 Who created this dashboard?

    This dashboard was created by Dr David Jeffery, University of Liverpool.

    Follow me on Twitter/X or Bluesky.

    ❓ Why did you create this dashboard?

    I needed to know MPs’ religion, and the text MPs used to swear in seemed like a valid proxy. This information was held by Humanists UK and when I asked for it, they said no.

    So I did what any time-starved academic would do: I collected the data myself, by hand, and decided to make it public.

    Bradford
    Description

    The latest population figures produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on 28 June 2018 show that an estimated 534,800 people live in Bradford District – an increase of 2,300 people (0.4%) since the previous year.

    Bradford District is the fifth largest metropolitan district (in terms of population) in England, after Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester although the District’s population growth is lower than other major cities.

    The increase in the District’s population is largely due to “natural change”- there have been around 3,300 more births than deaths, although this has been balanced by a larger number of people leaving Bradford to live in other parts of the UK than coming to live here and a lower number of international migrants. In 2016/17 the net internal migration was -2,700 and the net international migration was 1,700.

    A large proportion of Bradford’s population is dominated by the younger age groups. More than one-quarter (29%) of the District’s population is aged less than 20 and nearly seven in ten people are aged less than 50. Bradford has the highest percentage of the under 16 population in England after the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, Slough Borough Council and Luton Borough Council.

    The population of Bradford is ethnically diverse. The largest proportion of the district’s population (63.9%) identifies themselves as White British. The district has the largest proportion of people of Pakistani ethnic origin (20.3%) in England.

    The largest religious group in Bradford is Christian (45.9% of the population). Nearly one quarter of the population (24.7%) are Muslim. Just over one fifth of the district’s population (20.7%) stated that they had no religion.

    There are 216,813 households in the Bradford district. Most households own their own home (29.3% outright and 35.7% with a mortgage). The percentage of privately rented households is 18.1%. 29.6% of households were single person households.

    Information from the Annual Population Survey in December 2017 found that Bradford has 228,100 people aged 16-64 in employment. At 68% this is significantly lower than the national rate (74.9%). 91,100 (around 1 in 3 people) aged 16-64, are not in work. The claimant count rate is 2.9% which is higher than the regional and national averages.

    Skill levels are improving with 26.5% of 16 to 74 year olds educated to degree level. 18% of the district’s employed residents work in retail/wholesale. The percentage of people working in manufacturing has continued to decrease from 13.4% in 2009 to 11.9% in 2016. This is still higher than the average for Great Britain (8.1%).

    Indonesia
    Description

    Recent issues on politics have been dominant in Indonesia that people are divided and become more intolerant of each other. Indonesia has the biggest Muslim population in the world and the role of Islam in Indonesian politics is significant. The current Indonesian government claim that moderate Muslims are loyal to the present political system while the opposing rivals who are often labelled’intolerant and radical Muslims’ by Indonesian mass media often disagree with the central interpretation of democracy in Indonesia. Studies on contributing factors and discourse strategies used in news and articles in secular and Islamic mass media which play a vital role in the construction of Muslim and Islamic identities in Indonesia are, therefore, recommended.

Description

This Religion and State-Minorities (RASM) dataset is supplemental to the Religion and State Round 2 (RAS2) dataset. It codes the RAS religious discrimination variable using the minority as the unit of analysis (RAS2 uses a country as the unit of analysis and, is a general measure of all discrimination in the country). RASM codes religious discrimination by governments against all 566 minorities in 175 countries which make a minimum population cut off. Any religious minority which is at least 0.25 percent of the population or has a population of at least 500,000 (in countries with populations of 200 million or more) are included. The dataset also includes all Christian minorities in Muslim countries and all Muslim minorities in Christian countries for a total of 597 minorities. The data cover 1990 to 2008 with yearly codings.

These religious discrimination variables are designed to examine restrictions the government places on the practice of religion by minority religious groups. It is important to clarify two points. First, these variables focus on restrictions on minority religions. Restrictions that apply to all religions are not coded in this set of variables. This is because the act of restricting or regulating the religious practices of minorities is qualitatively different from restricting or regulating all religions. Second, this set of variables focuses only on restrictions of the practice of religion itself or on religious institutions and does not include other types of restrictions on religious minorities. The reasoning behind this is that there is much more likely to be a religious motivation for restrictions on the practice of religion than there is for political, economic, or cultural restrictions on a religious minority. These secular types of restrictions, while potentially motivated by religion, also can be due to other reasons. That political, economic, and cultural restrictions are often placed on ethnic minorities who share the same religion and the majority group in their state is proof of this.

This set of variables is essentially a list of specific types of religious restrictions which a government may place on some or all minority religions. These variables are identical to those included in the RAS2 dataset, save that one is not included because it focuses on foreign missionaries and this set of variables focuses on minorities living in the country. Each of the items in this category is coded on the following scale:

0. The activity is not restricted or the government does not engage in this practice.
1. The activity is restricted slightly or sporadically or the government engages in a mild form of this practice or a severe form sporadically.
2. The activity is significantly restricted or the government engages in this activity often and on a large scale.

A composite version combining the variables to create a measure of religious discrimination against minority religions which ranges from 0 to 48 also is included.

ARDA Note: This file was revised on October 6, 2017. At the PIs request, we removed the variable reporting on the minority's percentage of a country's population after finding inconsistencies with the reported values. For detailed data on religious demographics, see the "/data-archive?fid=RCSREG2" Target="_blank">Religious Characteristics of States Dataset Project.
