notes: This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for the Country of Birth by religion in Scotland. ## Country of birth Country of birth is the country in which a person was born. _Users should be mindful of changes in EU members and accession states between 2011 and 2022. This will affect the number of countries which make up certain categories when comparing the results between censuses._ Details of classification can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/metadata/country-of-birth/) _The quality assurance report can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/2022-results/scotlands-census-2022-quality-assurance-reports/quality-assurance-report-unrounded-population-estimates-and-ethnic-group-national-identity-language-and-religion-topic-data/)_ ## Religion This is a person’s current religious denomination or body that they belong to, or if the person does not have a religion, ‘No Religion’. No determination is made about whether a person was a practising member of a religion. Religion is a voluntary question and 6.2% of the population did not provide a response. Please be aware that when we state percentages these are out of the whole population, not just those that provided a response. Our approach to imputation is also different for voluntary questions. Not stating a religion is considered to be a valid response, so we do not impute a religion for those who responded to the census but did not answer the religion question. However, we do impute religion for those who did not respond at all to the census. 'Not stated’ is one of the values that can be imputed for religion. More information on our edit and imputation method is available on the [Scotland’s Census website](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/about/2022-census/statistical-methodology/edit-and-imputation/).
