Religious Data?

Postby biblemanryan » March 17th, 2008, 5:02 pm

Does anyone know where I could possibly find information on what religions people are affiliated with, in a certain geographical area, say my county? I am planning on doing a series on apologetics and reaching people of other religions with the message of Christ. I am wanting to make sure and give an overview of the major ones in our area and how we approach people of different religions or no religious inclination some what differently when we share Christ with them. For instance, Paul addressed Jews differently than the Greeks.

Thanks and God bless,
Ryan

try George Barna research. You can google and get the website. His is the probably the most recent and complete research available. If you want to do more global research go to www.joshuaproject.net
You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.

This site has county-level data. It's mostly on Christian denominations but also includes figures on Muslims and Jews.

For the truth that lies at the heart of theology is not something there to be discovered, but something, or rather someone, to whom we must surrender. The mystery of faith is not ultimately something that invites our questioning, but something that questions us.
