+In this chapter we're going to do some exciting things with census data. This is a very important dataset, often analysed, but much less frequently with regards to the subject of religion and almost never with the level of granularity you'll learn to work with over the course of this chapter.

 In this chapter, we'll explore the diverse variety of ways you can frame collecting data around religion. Before we dive into that all, however, you might be wondering, why does it all really matter? Can't we just use the census data and assume that's a reasonably accurate approximation? I'll explore the importance of getting the framing right, or better yet, working with data that seeks to unpack religious belonging, identity, and beliefs (or unbelief) in a variety of ways, but an example might serve to explain why this is important.
