Plotting Religion iff Freedom
Last week Mitt Romney, in a speech on religion, said that “Freedom requires religion, just as religion requires freedom.” Or, as I like to put it, “Religion iff Freedom.” This bothered me more than a little bit, until I realized that I could turn it into an empirical question. Or a least a question where I could make a plot!
The link goes to “a plot of importance of religion in people’s lives versus their political freedom for a 39 countries.”
