    Here is a direct link to the Creighton University study (a Christian University):

    Here is a direct link to a nice graphical summary to the same study:

    I had no intent of hiding the source. The link was simply very long and might have gotten split onto two lines in this message board. The TinyURL service is a handy way to turn long links into short ones. The skeptic site has some easy to view graphs summarizing the data, but it also links back to Creighton University with the raw data. Nothing is being hidden.

    ::cough:: If you use the link below you will quickly notice that the url does not correlate with the link. Meaning it links directly to a "skeptic.com" article. The fact that the individual whent to that length to hide where his "article" came from, causes me to wonder if anything he states has any credibility.

    DannyPoo would like the article to be handed out to friends and family. Another study by Creighton University on similar subject matter can be see summarized at the link below. This link also links back to the raw data at Creighton University. The results are somewhat different than the forthcoming book mentioned in the article.

    Sounds good so far. But i would be very interested in looking at how the 'freedom' is measured once the report is published!
