International Religion Indexes: Government Regulation, Government Favoritism, and Social Regulation of Religion.

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: for 196 countries and territories. Using a series of tests to evaluate the new data and indexes, we find that the measures developed are highly reliable and valid. The three indexes will allow researchers and others to measure the government's subsidy and regulation of religion as well as the restrictions placed on religion by social and cultural forces beyond the state.
