Any reference for the 95% quote?
Anyone know the reference for this 95% quote thats in the title of the Village descriptor? Here it is:
---------
According to a Harvard study, almost 95 percent of human beings follow their parent's religion. The study further revealed that almost all of them believe that their religion is the "best" without even studying other religions with the same passion. What do you think? Does this analysis justify the notion that the concept of "the best religion" is frail in itself? Or you think that the concept is still important and relevant? Or for that matter, how much role your parent?s religion has played in the selection of your religion? Do you think you would have followed your ?best religion?, if your parents were followers of different religion?

But it seems you were right in a sense that, I'm not going to get my question answered, which is sad. Boo hoo! MAN. That would have been a nice quote. I couldnt find any reference in Google to harvard and religion and 95. I think the owner of this group Wish3 made it up.
I hate to write the folks in Harvard - I almost was going to but I thought it'd be wasting their time. If what Wish3 says is true, we would have heard of it in more places.
Anywa, it dont like like I'm gonna hear anyone telling me the references
scratchnsniff
HUH? No one has to be a freaking amatuer freaking Social scientist to be able to talk about these things. I simply asked for the reference.
If I claimed that a Harvard study claimed that 95% of people with nicknames starting the "Dr" are frigging morons - or anything of the sort, would you not ask for a reference? );
If not, then yes - this Harvard study is also true. Dont ask me now for a reference.
The owner of this group Wish3 who made the quotation, has not given me any response so I assume the quotation is FALSE. Guilty unless proved innocent.
