The American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) 2001 is a 10-year follow-up study of religious identification among American adults, undertaken for the first time in 1990. Carried out under the auspices of The Graduate Center of the City University of New York, the 1990 National Survey of Religious Identification (NSRI) was the most extensive survey of religious identification in the later half of 20th-century America. That study, like the current follow-up, was undertaken because the U.S. Census does not produce a religious profile of the American population. Yet, the religious categories into which a population sorts itself is surely no less important than some of the other social-demographic categories that are enumerated by the decennial census. This survey represents the first large-scale national survey of religious identification conducted among Americans in the 21st century. The primary question of the interview was: What is your religion, if any? The religion of the spouse/partner also was asked. If the initial answer was 'Protestant' or 'Christian,' further questions were asked to probe which particular denomination.
