A problem with this is the overlap between "Jews" and "atheists" since you can be both--and lots of people are. So one of the two groups is probably being underreported, if you can only pick one answer. I don't know how my husband, for example, would respond if asked to choose between identifying as a Jew or an atheist. (Well, I know exactly how he would respond .... I'm just not sure how you could code for that.)

In increasing order: Jews (1-2%) Muslims (2-5%) Atheists (5-10%) All of these are of course subject to definitional questions. Probably the most uncertainty regarding atheists; least regarding Muslims. -- The best argument against Intelligent Design is that fact that people believe in it. * PAUL K.
