Your Religion and Your Money

On February 4, 2009, in Church Marketing, by Brett

Does your religious affiliation influence your income? 

This latest Pew Forum study is interesting, via Church Relevance. Here’s a screen shot of the chart on the site:

I don’ t know if there are any defininitive takeaways, but here are my first impressions:
 

  1. Unaffiliated and Catholic members seem the closest representatives to the national average. 
  2. What’s the difference between a mainline protestant church and an evangelical one?
  3. It’s interesting that at least five of the top six in terms of income are not associated with the thinking that faith = riches (think tele-evangelists). 
  4. It would be nice to see a break down of the $100k + to see where the really rich find themselves in terms of religious affiliation. 

 
What’s your take? Does your church fit its representation here?
