| Résumé: | This study introduces a new dataset on world religions. The World. - Religion Project consists of (a) a systematically developed classification. - of major world religions and religious families within major. - world religions, which enabled (b) the collection of data on the distribution. - of the population of all states in the international system. - across these religious categories, over the period of 1945-2010, and. - (c) a set of methods to reconcile among conflicting data from multiple. - sources, to deal with missing data, and to integrate multiple. - figures for a given observation. In the present study we discuss the. - significance of the World Religion Project, its internal logic and the. - development of the religion tree system of classification, and the. - data collection and data management process. We then provide a. - number of descriptive statistics about national, dyadic, regional,. - and global distributions of world religions, as well as some preliminary. - relationships between the religious similarity of states and. - their regime type, alliance patterns, and propensity to conflict.. - We discuss the potential contribution of this dataset to the study. - of the relationship between religion and international conflict and. - cooperation.
