    This has been discussed in other thread, but I haven't seen anyone post the link to the actual survey:

    http://religions.pewforum.org/reports/detailed_tables

    I am a little disappointed in the sample size of JWs, it's very small (215 respondents)

    Some interesting factoids...

    At least two who claimed to be JW were classified as "living with partner" and not married. I wonder if someone in Brooklyn is looking into that...

    The Education demographic is probably right on the money:

    Less than High School :19%

    High School Grad :51%

    Some College :22%

    College Grad :6%

    Post Grad :3%

    Yearly income is pathetic:

    Less than $30,000: 42%!!!

    $30K to 50K: 23%

    The only group with a higher percentage of income under 30K is classified as "Members of Historically Black Protestant Churches"

    Most of the other groups hit it pretty much the same as each other (even the Mormons, which I found surprising. I thought they'd score higher...)

    The one group that hits a whopping 46% of the sample making over 100K are Jews (with Reform hitting higher at 55%!) (Insert remark about "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" here...)

    A very enlightening report. It's nice to see comparative numbers!
