On the Salt Lake Tribune graph why did they cut the end off?drumdude wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 11:01 pmhttps://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/commen ... llapse_to/
Andy Larsen is a data columnist for The Salt Lake Tribune. He recently used Cooperative Election Study data from 2010-2021 to graph trends in US religious affiliation:

Headline: Surveys shed light on the LDS Church membership stagnation.
What did they find? Well, to be honest, a significant slump in the number of respondents in the past 10 years who say they are Latter-day Saints. Just like with the church membership rolls, 2021 was a particularly troubling year.
Again, you see declines in other Christian religions over that same period, especially among Protestants. In this poll, however, the number of respondents who say they’re Latter-day Saints falls more quickly than any other religion.
Thanks. That survey has a relatively small sampling error, but I always wonder exactly what it is for tiny groups as shown in the second graph.drumdude wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 11:01 pmhttps://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/commen ... llapse_to/
