I'm really drawn to sharing stats about stuff that are counterintuitive (did you know as many men report being victims of rape as women?), but there's lots of stats I'm afraid to share here because people will brigade me calling me various forms of evil.

I strongly believe that despite what they think, Californians are some of the most religious people on Earth. In other places the belief systems are thousands of years old but here people fervently believe stuff from the 70s, or like, that a food marketing MBA guy made up in 2009

I don't think it's weird at all; bad-faith representations of data are the norm for sensitive topics, and twitter is a poor format to justify good faith

There are real parallels in terms of intolerance/demands of purity, but I think that is just a segment of the greater Christian narrative and more ubiquitous within social justice culture. One thing in particular stands out there: a lack of forgiveness.

I never understand how raw data and religion have anything to do with each other... Science has always said... everything is a model... all models are wrong, but some models are useful. Especially the more multivariate the model is.
