Religious Plurality Worldwide
Apart from the local and regional research on religious plurality and diversity in one of Europe's biggest urban agglomeration, the Center for Religious Studies (CERES) at Ruhr University Bochum has also developed a Global Religious Diversity Map.
Religious diversity country by country in one map
This map is designed to help researchers of the Plureligion Network and beyond to put their own regional project on religious plurality in a worldwide context. It is furthermore an innovative way to map religions and to illustrate religious diversity.
