jews are rich

Don’t get pissed off at me yet…this isn’t some Nazi rant, but a review of the U.S. Religious Landscape Survey. I came across an article in AskMen.com’s blog titled “Is Atheism a Fad” and decided to do a little bit of research. The survey revealed some astonishing facts about the way we experience religion over our lifetimes. A quarter of Americans have changed their religious affiliation during their lifetimes, with the fasted growing affiliation being unaffiliated. So of all religions, the one that’s growing most is the one that ascribes to no religion at all! I guess that’s kind of interesting, and I also think that’s because a lot of people don’t want to call themselves atheists because they’re evil, and no one wants to be called agnostic because they have the slightest clue of what that is.
Beside the point, here are some fun facts:
Richest People’s Religions (Earn $100,000+):
1. Jews (46%)
2. Hindus (43%)
3. Orthodox (28%)
Smartest People’s Religions (Earn Postgraduate Degree):
1. Hindus (45%)
2. Jews (35%)
3. Buddhists (26%)
Dumbest People’s Religions (Less than High School):
1. Muslims (21%)
2. Jehovah’s Witnesses (19%)
3. Black Protestants (18%)
Well, of those statistics, we can definitely correlate that education is directly tied to prosperity, but other than that, I’ll let you come to your own conclusions. Go look for yourself: U.S. Religious Landscape Survey
So, what do you think?
