Interesting that the Catholics actually had a net increase, despite the scandals of the last several years. I think it wasn't 10 years ago they were losing people hand over fist.
I'd like to see a comparative study of relative activity in each of these faiths. I'd wager the Mormons and the JW's have much higher rates than many of the others. I remember being on my mission in Germany and sort of apologetically explaining that our wards typically had less than 50% attending. One woman's eyes about popped out of her head. "FIFTY percent?? Our pastors would KILL for that kind of attendance."
All about expectations, I guess. Heh.
