    Lumping ‘always’ with ‘sometimes’ is cooking your results to meet your objective.

      That was the most infuriating thing about this whole post to me. Elon’s braindead take is on brand and expected at this point, but that chart (or worse, the reaserch behind it) is the true crime here.

        I like how they count “Nothing”, “No response”, and “Other” as being separate religions so that the chart looks nore intimidating.

      It certainly is. You can view the actual data here: https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/college.pulse/viz/2024CollegeFreeSpeechRankings/2024CollegeFreeSpeechRankings?publish=yes

      Responses of “Rarely Acceptable” and “Always Acceptable” were pretty similar across all religions.

      The big difference was really in the “Never Acceptable” vs. “Sometimes Acceptable” responses.

      Protestants: 45% Never, 22% Sometimes, 29% Rarely, 4% Always

      Atheists: 24% Never, 35% Sometimes, 33% Rarely, 9% Always
