The agency interviewed 355,237 people in the period 2010–2013.<ref name=cbs2013>{{cite book|last1=Schmeets|first1=Hans|title=De religieuze kaart van Nederland, 2010-2013|date=2014|publisher=Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek|page=4|url=http://www.cbs.nl/NR/rdonlyres/20EC6E0B-B87A-4CFE-818B-579FB779009F/0/20140209b15art.pdf|access-date=23 April 2015}}</ref> In 2019, the Central Bureau of Statistics reported that for the first time non-religious people were in the majority in the Netherlands.
