The always interesting Possum Comitatus has some analysis of voting trends and social factors at the last federal election. Tucked away in there are some very interesting graphs about religion and its correlation to several other variables (about half way down, look for “Update 2“).
In particular, two relationships stand out:
- atheism is proportional to growth in property value and inversely proportional to levels of mortgage debt; and
- low levels of education are (strongly) proportional to levels of Christianity.
Behold the graph of “year 10 education or lower” versus “Christian”:
Of course correlation != causation, but the relationships are interesting to ponder.
