Exploring different worldviews, using interactive data-gathering
This site builds on interactive research methods from Studying God and Studying Religion, two publications for the religious education classroom in Britain.
School pupils (and anyone else!) can fill in their responses to questions about their idea of God, and the impact their worldviews have in their lives, and have their responses turned instantly into a graphic representation – a snowflake or a spidergram. These can then be compared across a group or a cohort, sorted according to age, location, religious or non-religious worldview.
Discover YOUR worldview
What is your idea of God?
Applying research from psychology on what people think God is like, fill in how far you agree that some key terms describe what God is like, in your personal worldview, and a snowflake graphic will show how your ideas compare with others.

Explore the impact of your worldview
How much impact do different features of religion have on your personal worldview – however religious you are (or aren’t)? Fill in a survey and a spidergram graphic will instantly show the shape of your worldview and how it compares with others.
