I used to work for one of the outbound call centers that would cold call people for the Pew Reseaech Center among other organizations and one of the surveys we did was about religious and spiritual beliefs as they correlate to political beliefs and it was so fucking surreal asking people stuff like
- "Do you feel a oneness with creation?"
- "Do you feel that all things on earth contain a living soul?"
- "And do you believe in evolution?"
- "And do you believe climate change is a man made problem?"
- "And do you believe in a pantheon of deities who control the weather"
- "Do you believe we should tax the wealthy at a higher rate?"
- "And do you believe one may transcend to a higher state of consciousness through meditation and detachment from earthly matters"
