BRIN (British Religion in Numbers) is an innovative research project hosted at the University of Manchester, dedicated to providing comprehensive statistical insights into religious practices and beliefs in Britain. Established between 2008 and 2010 with funding from the Religion and Society research programme, BRIN has gained recognition for its significant contributions to understanding religious dynamics, evidenced by its endorsement from the British Academy in 2014.

Under the direction of Dr. Clive Field OBE and Professor David Voas, BRIN offers a wealth of data, including historical statistics on church attendance, religious affiliations, and the evolving landscape of beliefs ranging from traditional to alternative forms of spirituality. The project serves as a vital resource for researchers, educators, and policymakers interested in the sociological aspects of religion, providing tools for analyzing trends over decades. Additionally, BRIN facilitates public engagement with faith-related subjects, enhancing awareness and discourse on religious diversity in modern society.
