The Global Religious Futures project is based on data obtained using a range of social science methods, including public opinion surveys, demographic analysis and coding. The Pew Research Center's Religion & Public Life project has conducted public opinion surveys in more than 40 countries, completed demographic analyses that cover 234 countries and territories, and coded 198 countries and territories for government restrictions on religion and social hostilities involving religion. Additional data sources – such as the United Nations – are cited where used.
