- Adherents.com
Although the site design leaves something to be desired, it is difficult to fault the excellent collection of links amassed by this site. The home page claims that over 4,000 groups are cataloged. For each group in the database the number of adherents, their geographic distribution, and a short description is provided.

- The Internet Sacred Text Archive
This simple-but-massive site contains the full texts of hundreds of documents sacred to the major religions of the world. In all, there must be tens of thousands of pages available here. If you want to know what a religion really teaches, don’t rely on others to tell you, read their sacred texts and make your own decisions.
