I’ve put up a first pass at visualizing the data from the survey I put up last month about computer language use and religion.  This was an attempt to see if there are any correlations between languages people *prefer* to use and religious identity.  The results are available to be viewed at http://www.kimsal.com/reldevsurvey/results.php.

There’s a few things to note:

• I didn’t deal with the country data.  I’m not sure how to properly visualize or account for it.
• The options changed during the first few hours, and eventually I had an ‘add your own’ option.  I should have put the ‘added’ options in the available options for future people, as that would have reduced repeats with slightly different misspellings.
• The raw data is available to download at the link provided above.  If anyone cares to take this data and visualize it better, give me your results and I’ll link to them or post them.

I don’t (yet?) have just raw results by religion, but out of the 3814 results, something like 1800+ identified as “Atheist”, and another 700 for ‘Agnostic’.  Clearly this is a big bunch, and is higher than I anticipated.  1000 of those Atheist and Agnostics claimed “US” as their country, which again surprised me a bit.
