I wonder how this "American Trends Panel" is chosen and if it really is nationally representative. Not that it matters, since I agree that we would be rated in the coldest part of the thermometer.

But hey, we aren't rated as badly as Muslims. (1% is 1%.)

My ratings would be a toss-up of evangelicals and Mormons in the coldest part. Buddhists and atheists would be in the warmest part. The other groups would not rate very high though....and I would have a problem rating the category "Jewish", since there is a huge difference between Orthodox Jews and non-Orthodox Jews. And it doesn't look as if they separated the two.
