Men are religious fundamentalists permlink
The finding that men are more likely to be secular than women is a relatively robust result. You can note this in the Pew Religious Survey, to the point where 70% of self-identified atheists in the United States are male....Posted on April 16, 2008 3:22 PM • 22 Comments
World religions - numbers over time.... permlink
Well, it turns out that there isn't a handy-dandy reference for the numbers for various religions in the past. Mark Kirkorian over at The Corner linked to my earlier post where I expressed skepticism about the contention by the Vatican...Posted on March 31, 2008 3:33 PM • 5 Comments
The accommodation of religion permlink
The Islamic Republic of Harvard?: But the decision put Harvard in the awkward position of having to arbitrate what constitutes legitimate religious practice.

Rewriting Islam permlink
Lots of articles on the radical reinterpretation of the Hadith in Turkey. The Hadith serve as the basis for Islamic law, and orthopraxy more generally. I am on the record as saying that texts don't in the end determine anything,...Posted on February 29, 2008 5:05 AM • 3 Comments
