5 Reasons Not To Indoctrinate Kids Against Religion

92. I think that there is a lot more to being competent than just a grade on a test.

So I would look at a lot more than just the grad when it came to a surgeon.

I will acknowledge that the PEW study shows that Atheists, Jews and Mormons do better than other groups. But I will maintain that there is no significant difference between 20.9, 20.5 and 20.3 out of 32 questions in a survey of 3,412 people. I'm not a statistician but I have enough training and experience in statistics to see that this is not a significant difference.

It's not a letter grade by a long shot. If we were looking at a 4.0 GPA scale, the difference would be a 4.0 vs a 3.92 vs. a 3.88, none of which would anywhere close to a B. Another way to look at it would be that the atheists group got 65% right vs.64% for the Jews vs 63.4% for the mormons.

I can not do the actual statistical evaluation of this data and don't see it in the report, but it's pretty clear that these differences are not significant.

And I find your impugning my character for saying so insulting and beneath you.
