RAS Dataset and Codebook
Download the RAS Dataset in multiple formats (SPSS, Stata, Ascii text) Codebook (This file contains a description of the variables contained in the dataset) RAS Constitutions Dataset
This dataset contains 154 variables which measure the presence of religion clauses in constitutions and is coded yearly from 1990 to 2008.

Data for "Contemporary Evidence Regarding the Impact of State Regulation of Religion on Religious Participation and Belief" Sociology of Religion. This version of the RAS dataset includes data from the WVS and ISSP surveys. The version of the WVS and ISSP data used in this study is based on country-level measures developed from these datasets by Robert Barro and Rachel McCleary. The data includes only those cases and years for which the WVS and ISSP are available. See the article for more details.

(1) It expands the types of discrimination coded from 16 to 24. (2) It recodes all of the variables separately for 595 religious minorities worldwide. That is each of these minorities is coded separately based on the discrimination against that specific minority, as opposed to the country-level codings in the original RAS dataset which provides a single score for treatment of all minorities in a single country. The codings cover 1990 to 2002.

Religion variables for use with the Minorities at Risk datasetThe Minorities at Risk (MAR) project collects data on ethnic minorities in the post-World War II era. It includes data on over 300 minorities. The following datasets were collected by Jonathan Fox for use with the MAR data. Operationalizing Huntington's Civilizations: This dataset is designed to operationalize Samuel Huntington's concept of civilizations and to provide variables for religious identity, both for use with the Minorities at Risk (MAR) dataset. The codebook contains a description of the variables. The dataset is in SPSS format. Religion and Ethnic Conflict: The purpose of this dataset is to provide variables measuring the religious elements of ethnic conflict that can be used with the Minorities at Risk Phase III dataset. The unit of analysis is the ethnic minority. The variables described below are coded for the 105 cases in the MARIII dataset in which the ethnic minorities involved are religiously different from the majority group. For operational purposes, a minority is considered to be a separate religion if it is 80% different from the majority group. Protestant and Catholic Christianity are considered separate religions for the purposes of this study. However, Orthodox Christianity is not considered sufficiently different from either Protestantism or Catholicism for such conflicts to be included. The Sunni and Shi'i branches of Islam are considered separate religions for the purpose of this study. In addition, cases of civil war are also not included because the study for which this data was collected focuses on the relationship between minority groups and governments controlled by a majority group. Cases where these is no effective government, like Bosnia, are therefore not included. A list of the groups included in this study is provided at the end of this codebook. There are three types of religious variables coded: religious grievances, religious discrimination, and religious demands. The dataset is in SPSS format. Archived Datasets
The round 1 version of the RAS dataset covers 1990 to 2002. While it is no longer the authoritative version of the dataset, we archive it here to make it available for purposes of replication of past studies which used this data. As we consider the round 2 version of the RAS dataset to be both more accurate and complete we recommend that the round 2 version be used for all future studies.
