Beautiful display of the data, but unfortunately not beautiful data.

“**God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood from us? With what water could we clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent for ourselves? Is the magnitude of this deed too great for us? Shall we not ourselves have to become gods, merely to seem worthy of it?**”
Loving the downvotes from the fedora tippers who are incapable of understanding the context.

Wait it, so maybe I’m misunderstanding. But 41 out of 67 people raised Christian are still Christian. Whereas 25 out of 44 raised atheists are still atheists. Isn’t that 61% retention for Christianity and 57% retention for “none”? I used the youngest cohort for both
Edit: yes, I made a mistake in the math. It’s 19 of 24 still atheist. So 79%. I’m not sure that any of this is a significant difference. But the change from cohort to cohort is interesting

The post header doesn’t match the charts. So…not beautiful.

you see the bit where it says figures may not add up to 100%? they have made the *actual bars* different lengths. Not beuatiful.

I’m one of the weirdos who was raised None and joined a church as an adult. It’s Unitarian Universalist, so I feel like it barely counts as religion, but still interesting that there is so few of us. I’d love to know the breakdowns by religion joined for those raised with None.

The choice to order the categories in this fashion means that there is no internal split which represents either all current Christians/nones or all people raised as Christians/nones. Putting the belief swappers in the left two columns doesn’t make a combined group that has any real meaning. That’s a missed opportunity to also show the change over time of overall influence without having to add up numbers in our heads.
