I'm sorry --- I must have got switched around. That happens!

But it does illustrate how the stats can be confusing: for instance, how does the CIA World Book get that figure of 87% Catholic in Mexico? Parish active membership rolls? Baptismal records? Responses to a telephone survey? Is it on the Mexican census form?

And when they come here --- is somebody accurately polling the religious affiliation of the subset of Mexicans (6.1 million they're saying as of April 2012?) that's in the US illegally?

You see the overall point: it's not an exact science, this calculating of faith membership.

No I don’t see your point at all, or what all your posting has been about or how you keep claiming inaccurate numbers, or what your confusion about them is.

My post 52 was a simple enough post, responding to a strange claim, but you went on some odd and senseless journey about it for some reason.
