What criteria was used to determine which nations appear on the chart? Jim__ Sep 2012 #5

Here's the supporting data for the paper muriel_volestrangler Sep 2012 #13

Thanks. That information definitely makes it look like the data for the chart was cherry-picked. Jim__ Sep 2012 #18

No; the data from Argentina etc. was from 2011 from a poll for Reuters muriel_volestrangler Sep 2012 #19

As stated in post #65, I wasn't referring to that paper; but to the chart in the OP. Jim__ Sep 2012 #67

Are fundamentalist, literalist Christians a sizeable, influential group in the U.S., or not? trotsky Sep 2012 #12
