GENERAL NOTE:
These questions follow up questions in VCF0128.
The addition in 1972 of "Is that Southern Baptist or something else?"
significantly changed distributions of Protestant Baptists beginning in
that year.
Beginning in 1990 (except 2002), the full set of religion codes was
expanded considerably, adding codes for different affiliations within
the major mainline Protestant denominations and reworking almost
entirely the Pentecostal, Holiness, fundamentalist, and evangelical
Protestant denominations. VCF0152 gives the 'new' set of full
codes.
2002 NOTE:
2000 data were included in the 2002 study religion summary variable by
recoding from the 2000 study variable, which differed somewhat in
coding from that used for 2002 fresh cross-section cases. A
description of the recode from the 2002 summary variable is provided in
the Appendix.
