  Squeekywheel- Thailand and India ARE Asian countries. So is Russia (Russia is both European and Asian).
  
  Otherwise, I agree with Daniel on this one. Religious is only a matter of how your unique (albeit right or wrong) view point affects how you choose to live your life.

  I somewhat dislike studies like this because I see them as somewhat disingenuous and misleading. "Relgious" is a slippery word. If "religious" simply refers to accepting certain propositions by faith and acting upon them, then we are all equally religious: Billy the Kid is as religious as Billy Graham, and Charles Finney as religious as Charles Darwin. The truth is, there are no "brute" facts. Every "fact" is an interpreted fact as seen through a pre-theoretical grid of one's presuppositions and/or unprovable axioms. This holds true for the beliefs and conclusions of the most atheistic or skeptical anti-supernaturalist scientists as it does for the greatest Christian evangelists and theologians.

  There's no mention of any Asian countries. It would be interesting if a survey was done in Communist China.

  The only item in the story that really surprised me was Thailand being basically same low interest level with France. I would like to see how they worded their questions in the survey.
