what strikes me on this religiosity-income graph is that both of the anomalies (Kuwait and the US) are countries with very unevenly distributed wealth. It would be interesting to see how religiosity relates to wealth within these countries. One cliche assumption would be that poorer people in these countries are more religious and contribute to the Y-axis position because of their high numbers, whereas the very rich are less religious but contribute to the X-asis position because of their big wealth.<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>just a thought,</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Joost.<br><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br><div><div>On 28 Feb, 2008, at 10:59 AM, David C.
