What’s the relation between religion and morality? I drew up a table to compare the two. This shows the absolute numbers and the percentages normalized in two directions (by religion, and by morality). I also highlighted the cells corresponding to the greatest percentage across the direction that was not normalized (for example, 22.89% of agnostics said there’s no such thing as morality, a higher percentage than any other religious group).
Many pairs were highlighted both ways. In other words, these are pairs such that “Xs are more likely to be Ys” and vice-versa.
[BLANK]; [BLANK]
Atheist and not spiritual; Consequentialist
Agnostic; No such thing
Deist/Pantheist/etc.; Virtue ethics
Committed theist; Deontology
(I didn’t do any statistical analysis, so be careful with the low-population groups.)
