What is the margin of error. According to what I see there, Mormons could actually be 4th.

Mormons reading the Bible is always good news. I wonder if the data is skewed because we're studying the NT this year. Regardless, it's a stat of which I wholly approve.
Something else from that survey that I noticed is something that a Catholic friend of mine has been railing on for years. Attendance at Mass is actually up in the last few years, and probably in reaction to the Priest scandals (so he says, and I've heard other Catholics say similar things). Some Catholics feel as though their church needs them and have increased their activity. I'll also add that, according to this survey, Catholics attend services about as often as Protestants do. (And in this survey they actually attend more often than Episcopalians, Adventists, and Lutherans). I wish the margin of error info was available...

Calling Aaron!
What are your thoughts on this - other than obviously distorted in our favor?

he's too busy being sad because his stellar review of "September Dawn" wasn't shared by most movie critics
