Your Religion and Your Money

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?
