Well, they can’t just treat them like any other gentile.
Except the fractional percentages total 3.8%, nowhere near the 17.7% it would take to get to 100% with the 81.3% LDS. They must do some serious rounding down.
“0.0% are an eastern faith.” Wow. So no Jains, Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, Taoists, etc anywhere in town.
My thoughts exactly. Otherwise, why even list the 5 categories showing 0.0%? As the article states as a footnote, there are 4200 religions in the world. Why show just these five?
3.8% + 81.3% = 85.1%, which is a very small roundoff error from the 85.2% total.
Because that site has information about a great many different cities, and those are the top religions over all of those cities, with numbers greater than 0 in most of them.
Ah. I was interpreting the percentages as total population, not percentages of the religious population.
Fair enough, and I understand your point.
But then I looked up my home town (population of 20k), and it also listed Judaism, eastern faith, and Islam as 0.0%. I know for a fact that there are a non-zero number of households of each of these faiths in this town, so I will continue to maintain that the numbers on this site are rounded down.
Or that rely on data collection methods that are not 100% accurate. Often times people don’t self-report religion for a variety of reasons.
Right, exactly, they’re percentages of the total population. And apparently 14.8% of the total population is not religious.
Is that nonzero number more than ten people? Because if not, then the correct rounding would show them as 0.0%. Not 0.00%, but they don’t give that much precision.
In the case of Islam, definitely yes. I know of three families, which have 4, 4, and 2 kids. That’s ten, plus the six parents. There may be more Islamic households in this town.
OK, then, their numbers have more error than the digits imply, at least for small towns.
I saw it. I had a lot of issues with that movie, but that wasn’t any of them.
Today during the racketeering trial of rapper Young Thug in Atlanta, Thug’s attorney revealed that he had learned of a secret meeting between the judge, the prosecutor, and a star witness in the judge’s chambers, in which the witness was threatened with indefinite detention if he refused to testify against Thug.
The judge then had the defense attorney arrested for refusing to say how he found out about this highly improper meeting.
I don’t know enough about this case to have an opinion as to whether Young Thug is guilty, but it sounds to me like the prosecution and judge just made sure he’ll never see the inside of a prison cell.
Baraboo is Clown Central, after all. 
The girls didn’t go to bed by 11 pm as he wanted: what else could he do?

This has always struck me as strange given that going a mission has so long been part of the religion. Then again, from what little I know of Mormon missionary activities maybe they don’t actually learn that much about other people on their missions.
I also suspect what while Mr. Smith is Jewish he was never into the Jewish practice. I certainly could be wrong, but Judaism frowns on tattoos, of which Mr. Smith has a plenitude. Or maybe he was just really, really rebellious as a young man.
Copyright issues?
Maybe? I would have expected the license to stream/sell the movie would include being able to use stills from it on your website to promote it.
I know everything WRT rights is negotiated to death but it doesn’t seem like that’s been an issue in the past.
This is both creepy and stupid. Why spend money on this? Is there a market? And if there is, I wish to know as little about it as possible.
There are cheaper ways.

- Howard Wolowitz: I just built the arm.
