This table provides Census 2021 estimates that classify people by Country of birth (12 categories) by Religion or religion brought up in for Northern Ireland. The table contains 48 counts.

The census collected information on the usually resident population of Northern Ireland on census day (21 March 2021). Initial contact letters or questionnaire packs were delivered to every household and communal establishment, and residents were asked to complete online or return the questionnaire with information as correct on census day. Special arrangements were made to enumerate special groups such as students, members of the Travellers Community, HM Forces personnel etc. The Census Coverage Survey (an independent doorstep survey) followed between 12 May and 29 June 2021 and was used to adjust the census counts for under-enumeration.

These data were collected for a study of how the characteristics of political parties influence women's chances in assuming leadership positions within the parties' inner structures. Data were compiled by Fatima Sbaity Kassem for a case-study of Lebanon and by national and local researchers for 25 other countries in Asia, Africa and Europe. The researchers collected raw data on women in politics from party administrators and government officials. Researchers gathered information about parties' year of origin, number of seats in parliament, political platform, and all gender-disaggregated party data (in percentages) on overall party membership, shares in executive and decision-making bodies, and nominations on electoral lists. A key variable measures party religiosity, which refers to the religious components on their political platforms or the extent to which religion penetrates their political agendas.

Only parties that have at least one seat in any of the last three parliaments were included. These are referred to as 'relevant' parties. The four data sets combined cover 330 political parties in Lebanon plus 12 other Arab countries (Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Mauritania, Morocco, Palestine, Tunisia, and Yemen), seven non-Arab Muslim-majority countries (Albania, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Indonesia, Senegal, and Turkey), five European countries with dominant Christian democratic parties (Austria, Belgium, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands), and Israel.

The ATLAS of Religious or Belief Minority Rights is a cross-disciplinary project that quantitatively maps and measures the legal rights of religious or belief minorities (RBMs) across European Union (EU) Member States:

1. Data on religious or belief minority rights were collected through thematic Questionnaires on domains - defined as policy areas - such as public schools, spiritual assistance, legal status, family and marriage and religious/belief symbols. National legal experts provided responses, which were validated and structured into indicators and clusters. These were then aggregated to build three indices: the P-Index (promotion and respect of rights), the E-Index (equal treatment among minorities) and the G-Index (majority-minority rights gap).
2. Once all numerical data were defined and validated, the following step was to organize and verify the assigned scores. A Masterplan – an Excel file – was created for each policy area, listing the questions taken into consideration, the 16 States covered, and the 13 religious or belief organizations involved (RBOs). Each cell contains the relevant indicator (the answer) and its assigned score, while an additional column was included to record a brief description of the legal basis or reference supporting that assessment.

The average for 2013 based on 18 countries was 4.1 percent. The highest value was in Cyprus: 18 percent and the lowest value was in the Czechia: 0 percent. The indicator is available from 1960 to 2013. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

This statistic shows the number of migrants who immigrated to the European Union, classified by their religious affiliation. As of 2010, approximately 26.4 million immigrants in the EU were Christians. That equals 56 percent of all immigrants to the EU.

Between 1991 and 2001, the number of Roman Catholics in Canada increased slightly, while the number adhering to Protestant denominations continued a long-term decline. The census enumerated just under 12.8 million Roman Catholics, up 4.8%, while the number of Protestants fell 8.2% to about 8.7 million. The largest gains in religious affiliations occurred among faiths consistent with changing immigration patterns toward more immigrants from regions outside of Europe, in particular Asia and the Middle East. (Other religions: Moslem, Christian Orthodox, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist.)
