      Did you survey these people at a church? The extreme religious side is way larger overall than the other side.

    2. This would be easier to understand if they were percentages listed instead of the raw numbers

    3. Total number of people who said god is „not at all important“ is 20,478, total who said god is „very important“ 54,803. It really shows how important religion is to so many people in the world still.

      And that 65% of the very religious people said being gay is never acceptable shows just how fucking judgemental of other people’s business they are.

    4. „Justifiable“ is such a funny word to use here, like Your Honor there were extenuating circumstances, I was compelled to action by that ass

    5. Same color for 168 and 615?

      What’s the reddit for the data visualisation fails?

      Is there some reason homosexuality needs to be justified? Such bizarre phrasing. Maybe have another survey that asks, „how important is homosexuality to you?“ And „Can religion be justified?“ I’d love to hear the responses there.

    7. Is that worldwide? EVS and WVS are two different datasets. 25% of world population identifies as non religious, yet this graphic shows almost no non-religious people. Something is weird.

      what anti-science question out of hell is this suggestion that you should somehow have to „justify“ someone else’s love life?

      if anything, we should be asking whether religion is justifiable.

    9. there should be a listing like this for each popular religion to make this more coherent.

      We all know which religion would stand out in terms of homosexuality – hate

      Everything about this chart checks out. Especially the borders, indicating extreme thinking. No nuance correlates with religiosity.

    11. What do you mean by „justifiable“. Gay people exist. It’s like asking if cows are justifiable.

    12. xdumbpuppylunax on

      Religious bigotry and toxic values are one of humanity’s most destructive creations.

    13. Please, please, please choose a different color scheme with more contrast.

      I’m red-green colorblind and have no idea what’s going on here

    14. Have you used the numbers weighted for population or literally the raw survey numbers?

    15. I’mma be honest, who would answer like,

      > Hmmm, I think homosexuality is justified *sometimes,* but not all the time. I mean, what if they gave up boyfucking for Lent? It’s probably okay if it’s a femboy, but bear on bear is too much, except maybe on a Thursday.

      Religiosity seems like a sliding scale, but the „justifiability“ of homosexuality seems like a binary, no?

    16. I wonder how this has changed overtime. Have we become more religious and less justified about homosexuality as a result or vice versa or not really changed?

      Yes people can Google the study but the data would be more beautiful if the title or accompanying text stated who was surveyed. Is it just one country, multiple countries, the whole world?

    18. Inevitable-Emu-6626 on

      This is why human rights shouldn’t be a question. Treat others as you want to be treated should be the goal.

    19. I hate it. You gotta add more color to give a visual representation to all the tiles.

    20. NottACalebFan on

      The axes are somewhat poorly defined and the data along each edge would be more easily summarized with a subtotal line, imo.

    21. SpaceManJoe316 on

      I like how this shows how 5 is not half way between 1 and 10, yet most people treat it like it is. 6 is just as close to the middle, but far fewer people pick it.

    22. WaterNerd518 on

      What this doesn’t tell us is why god is important in their lives. Maybe many of the people who god is 10/10 important to is because they have vowed to destroy god and religion completely.

    23. Summoarpleaz on

      The meaning aside, the hot zones being the corners and the mid points says to me the scale of the questions should probably not be out of 10. Probably similar results if the questionnaire used a scale out of 5.

    24. jossie-the-cat on

      I find it interesting that christians always find a way to not accept people for who they are, EVEN AS when they try to lure you to their abusive cult, they tell you „god accepts you for who you are.“ In a book where the „lineage of the christ“ was a bisexual (king David and Jonathan), and they brushed it off. In Jewish tradition, we all know he was bisexual, but that is not important. People get hung up on sexuality …well, 85% of the population is straight. The vast majority of murderers, liars, adulterers, rapists, insane, narcissistic, etc, etc …are also straight.
      If you are going to hate us all, hate the lineage of your christ; for it also is colored with the same colors you always hated because of your ignorance.

    25. I like how the row 5 and column 5 are visibly darker than those around them, implying two things to me:

      * Many respondents felt that a one-to-ten scale was way more precision than they needed to answer this question. „Well, I’m not a 1 and I’m not a 10, so 5, I guess?“
      * The fact that people use 5 as the midpoint between 1 and 10 (which isn’t accurate) probably causes all results to slightly skew lower. Opinion questions with answers on a scale should always have an odd number of choices to allow a the existence of a neutral answer.

      I wonder if this effect would be visible on all the other questions done in this survey?

    26. Which god? I’m not interested in Christianity or Islam but Hemsworth’s Thor is pretty important in my bedroom.

    27. thegooddoktorjones on

      From which we learn this is a dumb question resulting in quite random answers and very religious people are often assholes. Not a very beautiful, a plot showing trend lines in this noisy data would seem more useful.

    28. how about flipping the question to how important are you in god’s life?

    29. This survey means absolutely nothing it was asked in 80 countries.

      There are massive regional differences. Massive cultural differences

      Take Morocco or Nigeria for example. The questions asked there, people will hate homosexuals whether the individuals are religious or not. So if you were to break the data down to individual countries then it’s worth looking at, applying a blanket chart to 80 different cultures with the vast majority of them not being similar…. It’s absolutely pointless and misleading.

      Also giving no detail to the religion is insanity.

      A Muslim or Rastafarian will be WAY more against homosexuality than a Buddhist or Christian(particularly European Christian I know Americans still don’t like gays)

      This data seems obtuse to me, at least when displayed in this way.

    30. Business-Captain8341 on

      Very interesting data.

      – Twice as many in Not Justifiable At All vs Always.

      – With the exception of Very Important, Never Justifiable is fairly evenly distributed across the other religions levels.

      – What the heck do those 168 people who don’t really give a shit actually believe in!

      – The Very Important and Never Justifiable is absolutely massive. Surprising that.

    31. Nebachadrezzer on

      From this it seems the vast majority of people only use 1, 5, or 10.

      I wonder if there’s a system where we can get more accurate measurements.

      Perhaps remove numbers and add examples to extract measurements from?
