Reliability Tier3
Tertiary reference compiling two named primary figures, the U.S. Department of State's 2022 International Religious Freedom Report on Bhutan and Pew Research Center's 2010 Global Religious Landscape estimate, rather than either primary document directly; the same one-remove standing already given to other Wikipedia country-religion compilations on this axis.
