This grant supported a three-year research project that identified, archived, and strategically disseminated new international data on religion through the expansion of the Association of Religion Data Archives (ARDA). This project documented religion’s impact on the international arena by assembling cross-national data on religion, making the data accessible to the public and key findings readily available to journalists, and producing a series of publications and technical documents to initiate discussion on key substantive issues.
