The main actor in collecting and systematizing statistics on religion is Statistics Norway. While most figures are derived from official registers, the agency also provides some more qualitative interviews in the field, and also the Norwegian section of larger-scale international surveys. Other government agencies also provide some statistics relating to religion or belief, as do private companies like Ipsos MMI. Additionally, the Institute for Church, Religion, and Worldview Research regularly publishes reports and surveys that measure various aspects related to religion or belief.
