An internet poll about religious faith


A Fort Wayne, Indiana newspaper posted a poll at their website inquiring about the religiosity of their viewers. When Pharyngula reported on the poll earlier today, these were the "early returns" -
  • Yes, and my faith is important to me. 62%
  • No. I'm religious but in a personal way. 10%
  • No. I'm of another faith. 1%
  • No. I'm an atheist or agnostic. 27%
Now (midday Wednesday) the results are as in the embedded screencap above. These results are certainly not representative of Fort Wayne, nor likely of internet users in general. One could argue at some length what value - or lack thereof - internet polls have. I'm moving on to other things now, but I thought this was interesting. It might be worthwhile to check the poll later in the day to see if other "constituencies" weigh in.

You can still participate in the poll (and offer commentary) at this link.
