How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a 0-100 point value for secularisation and worldview openness. 100 stands for free non-affiliation, low religious coercion and practical separation of state and religion.

The calculation combines maintained Nomadino secularisation values with the non-religious population share, religious-freedom data and the new burden value for religious influence in everyday public life. Public anchors include Pew religious demography, World Values Survey, Humanists International, V-Dem, ARDA and constitutional sources.

The rating equals the rounded raw value. Higher values are better because they indicate more freedom to choose between religious affiliation, non-affiliation and open worldview positions.

The indicator does not rate religion negatively. A religious country can rank well if non-affiliation, criticism, conversion, minorities and state neutrality are practically protected.
