520 |a The application of quantitative research has diminished in recent years in favor of qualitative research. This article present a history of statistics, suggests the applicability of statistics to religion related research, and recommends websites for initial data collection, as a way to diffuse student anxiety in the application of quantitative research. The discipline of Statistics developed in the 20th century; Pearson, Edgeworth, Yule, Gosset, and Fisher were prime movers in the development of the language and procedures of statistics. Ronald Aylmer Fisher contributed more to the theory and practice of mathematical statistics than anyone else. The academic discipline of statistics in the United States was fostered at Iowa State University under the direction of George W. Snedecor and the electronic digital computer was invented on the campus of Iowa State University by John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford E. Berry. A.C. Elliott and Associates of TexaSoft Company applied the electronic digital computer to solve mathematical formulas of several statistical procedures. A number of organizations dedicated to the study of religion and related issues were listed. Wave III of the Baylor Religion Survey was recently released. The statistical revolution has become so widely used that its unspoken history has become part of the popular culture of the Western world.
