I never claimed that data was definitive. In fact I pointed out
It would be wonderful if there were any reliable data here with which to
apply the 'scientific method', but (again an opinion) you aren't going to
get it. People lie! They tell half-truths (how many on the list would
[have] identified themselves with a religion that they don't _really_
believe in). Those in prison can have ulterior motives for appearing
'religious'. You would need to do extensive interviews with the
respondents hooked up to lie detectors to (maybe) get the kind of data that
we could analyze 'scientifically'. All of which leads me back to
(slightly more than opinion because of all the factors Brian listed in
questioning the survey) that the data provided by Hugh is pretty useless.
