The 2010 U.S. Religion Census, from the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies, is a large cooperative statistical study; the atlas leaves its own publication year blank because the study's year appears in its title while the year the consulted volume was actually printed was not established, an honest gap rather than an omission. Its strength is that it aggregates congregation level reporting across many denominations in a single standardized study. Its limit is that it depends on each denomination's own willingness and ability to report, so coverage varies by tradition.
