A little survey

By pharyngula on July 12, 2010.

We have such a reputation for destroying polls that this survey may not survive contact with us, but give it a shot anyway. It's asking what people know about other people's religious beliefs.

1) Which of the following best classifies your beliefs?
Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hundu, Jainist, Buddhist, Scientologist, Polytheist, Deist, Atheist, Other

2) How many atheists do you know?
None, 1-5, 6-10, 11-20, More than 20

3) Please indicate which of the following concepts you think atheists believe:
Choices for each are: Believe, Don't believe, Irrelevant, I don't know
- God
- Demons
- Spiritualism
- Voodoo
- Ghosts
- Afterlife
- Heaven/Hell
- Reincarnation
- Destiny
- Science

4) Do atheists believe there is no god? (Yes/No)
5) Do you think atheists are spiritual? (Yes/No)
6) Do you think atheists value morality? (Yes/No)

It repeats with similar questions about Muslims and Christians. Try it…although I think atheists are about to be heavily overrepresented in the data set.

There are some really weird comments about Albania below. Part of these confusions have to do with ambiguities as to the religious identity of Albania, traditionally majority Muslim, but after decades of Communism very secular. What exactly are the religious breakdowns? How religious are Albanians…

Here's an amusing exchange between Bill O'Reilly and a guest on his show about this mythical war on Christmas at department stores: O'REILLY: See, I think you're, I think you're crazy. And here's why. I think the backlash against stores that don't say "Merry Christmas" is enormous because now…
