Reliability Tier3
A general reference encyclopedia article, used here only for its relayed figures from the 1990 National Survey of Religious Identification and the 2001 American Religious Identification Survey, both conducted by the CUNY Graduate Center under Barry Kosmin; an aggregator of named primary surveys rather than a primary source itself, the same tier this axis gives comparable Wikipedia aggregator entries.
