Thanks, Ryan. Your research, and especially your graphs, are so informative. The way you show us the data always helps me to see things more clearly - especially regarding faith and politics.

Ryan, you might have spoken to this in your book, but is there a gender skew among the "None" labels? My guess would be that atheists skew more male while nothing-in-particulars skew more female.

If that's true, then seeing as how they are positioned to the left of a Democratic Party that skews female, it would seem that male atheists are pretty far out of step politically compared to men their age more generally.

Yeah - it's something I touch about in The Nones.

Atheists are the most male-dominated 'religious' group. Agnostics a bit less so.

Nothing in particulars are evenly split.
