DADvocate – Still focused on Religion

Posted under DADvocate by metzgerbusiness on Thursday 11 February 2010 at 1:00 am

I thought I’d stick with the religious theme that we’ve been looking at this week. It turns out the by far the largest population of Dad’s that have taken the survey are Christians and the next largest population is Jews. I’m not surprised by the numbers here although I wonder how they’ll play out in the end. I’ve received a few more responses this week that are not included in the data displayed here but a number of the respondents claimed not to believe in God at all. I happened to notice that one of the men lived in Californian and I decided to see if there was any correlation between where they live and their lack of belief in a God.

All the men who took the survey and responded with – “I don’t believe in God” live in the Canada, Georgia, California or Florida. It turns out I was wrong that they would all live in California. Another correlation I looked at was party affiliation. Interestingly the party affiliation seem to be entirely independent of religion.

Here is today’s graph:

  • Pete,
    I actually need to make two corrections. 1) I ment to say California not Canada. That said I would expect you to ask the same question "Are you saying that all Californian's are thought to be atheists?" and the answer is No. Just, I'm somewhat suprised that there are atheists in the bible belt. I guess I'm just showing my own preconcived notions. Admitedly I was suprised that there was a fairly even distribution of atheists between liberals and conservatives. I'll be interested to see how the numbers fall out when we truly have enough responses to say we are statistically significant.

    Are you saying that Canadians are thought to be atheists?
