Created by two of the field's leading experts, this unique
introduction to international religious demography outlines the
challenges in interpreting data on religious adherence, and
presents a contemporary portrait of global religious belief.
* Offers the first comprehensive overview of the field of
international religious demography - detailing what we know
about religious adherents around the world, and how we know it
* Examines religious freedom and diversity, including agnostics
and atheists, on a global scale, highlighting trends over the past
100 years and projecting estimates for the year 2050
* Outlines the issues and challenges related to definitions,
taxonomies, sources, analyses, and other techniques in interpreting
data on religious adherence
* Considers data from religious communities, censuses, surveys,
and scholarly research, along with several in-depth case studies on
the global Muslim population, religion in China, and the religious
demography of recently created Sudan and South Sudan
* Argues against the belief that the twentieth-century was a
'secular' period by putting forward new evidence to the
contrary
* Provides resources for measuring both qualitatively and
quantitatively important data on the world's religious situation in
the twenty-first century
