Remarks:

Multinational survey, also undertaken in Brazil, China, Denmark, Japan, and the United States of America besides the United Kingdom. Unbelievers were recruited to match pre-set quotas of unbelievers by age, sex, and region as determined by answers to the belief in God questions in the 2008 International Social Survey Programme and the 2010-14 World Values Surveys.
