[diversity-talk] Religious diversity statistics

[Paul Norman]

Is anyone aware of any statistics about religious diversity of OSM 
contributors?

I know on the default style we did some work to add more religious icons 
for places of worship about a year ago, and the language diversity work 
I did probably also helped, but I don't know of any real outreach that's 
been done.

Anecdotally, it's an issue. I've heard of major events scheduled on 
religious holidays, a lack of Kosher food options, and thinking back to 
the previous SOTM-US conferences, I don't know if they had a quiet place 
for daily prayer for those who needed one. Admittedly, I didn't ask 
about the latter, so there may have been facilities available on request.

I'd like some solid numbers, and don't know of any studies which have 
tackled this. Is anyone aware of some?
