The Center for Inquiry requests your help with this important study of non-religious people being conducted by Luke Galen, PhD., Grand Valley State University.

Unlike previous surveys that focused on religious persons -- collecting information about the non-religious as an afterthought -- the Non-religious Identification Survey (NRIS) is the first rigorous survey instrument designed specifically to gather demographic, personality, social network, and group affiliation information about the non-religious community.

. . .

The survey should take 20-30 minutes to complete. Data will be collected until July 2008.

Invitations are being sent to select individuals who belong to freethinking organizations or subscribe to a movement publication. Because the pool of invitees is so exclusive, your participation is very important! So we strongly encourage you to log on ... and be counted!
. . .


When data analysis is complete, respondents will be notified via e-mail. The findings will also be announced online and through the news media. We anticipate substantial interest in NRIS and its first-ever portrait of unbelievers by the unbelievers themselves.

If you know others who would like to participate in the survey, please have them send a request via e-mail to [e-mail]


Thank you in advance for your participation in this important research study.
. . .




Please let us know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Luke Galen, PhD., Lead Researcher

1. A link to the actual survey would be helpful

if you want people to take it.

They haven't gone out of their way to make it available on their main page.

3. The study is being done in a couple of phases

I e-mailed Jeff Seaver (Exec. Dir. CFI Michigan) about this a couple of days ago because I wanted to promote it at NG. This phase of the study is limited to CFI members and people they recommend to take the survey. The next phase they'll provide links to be posted to blogs and such.
