Blackburn Royal Center for Religious Survey

The Blackburn Royal Center for Religious Survey, often abbreviated Blackburn RCRS, is a Lovian scientific research center operated by Blackburn University and funded by HRH King Dimitri I of Lovia. It was founded November 11, 2009 and has its headquarters at Blackburn University, Noble City. The center's primary goal is to gather information on religious demography in Lovia, and to examine the results. Also, the Blackburn RCRS examines religious texts and sources. The center's library offers a wide range of Bible texts and related sources.

Blackburn University invested about 2 million US dollars, whereas the King donated 10.2 million dollar to pay for operational costs. There are close relations to the Blackburn Royal Center for Rational Thought and Skepticism.

Census of Religious Groups in Lovia, 2010
Professor Brandon Culligan will organize in an informal census of the Lovian population, in order to obtain correct information on the size and strength of religious (or irreligious) communities within the country. He will be aided by his assistent, Mary Elisabeth Nelson, and a group of five voluntary researcher, who will phone 5.000 adult Lovians. The researcher will ask these questions:
 * 1) "Would you or would you not describe yourself as a religious person?"
 * 2) "Do you or do you not consider yourself rational?"
 * 3) "What is your religious affiliation, if any? Specify if possible."
 * 4) "Do you own any religious books or texts?"
 * 5) "If yes, do you own a Bible? If yes, which version?"
 * 6) "If yes, do you own religious books or texts of a religion that is not yours?"
 * 7) "Do you have children and are you affiliated with a religion?"
 * 8) "If yes, do you or do you not raise your children with values that are characteristic of your religion?"
 * 9) "What is your city, town or hamlet of residence?"
 * 10) "What are your origins, ethnically?"
