Abstract

The religion and state project is intended to develop and create a set of measures that systematically gauge government religion policy.

This update (1) describes the methodology and reasoning behind the new coding, (2) describes the changes between Round 1 and Round 2, (3) compares the religion and state variables to other religion data collections, and (4) discusses the potential significance of this data collection
