RUSSIAN RELIGIOUS LIFE IN FIGURES

Income in Russian religion

No difference! There is no special correlation between religiosity and the level of income, so Mchedlov states that it is wrong to think that religion is the result of poverty. He calls this opinion "widely spread," but I am afraid that it is only widespread among former Marxists live Mchedlov himself.

The data of the poll in December of 2000, 1800 respondents, 11 groups of population. The poll by Michail Mchedlov (old "Soviet specialist in religion", now the head of the center "Religion in modern society.") Published: NG-religiya, 10.10.2001, p.7.
