NEW: How Measurement Changes Can Exaggerate the Growth of Religious “Nones”
from Matthew Conrad & me https://sociologicalscience.com/articles-v13-5-89/
“AUSTRALIANS ditch religion at rapid rate” declared the 2017 CNN headline of an article reporting that Australia’s 2016 census was the first in which the share of people identifying with “no religion” exceeded the Catholic share of the population (Berlinger 2017). However, the CNN story didn’t report on another first—in 2016, Australia made “no religion” the first response category presented to people answering the census religious identity question. Previously, “no religion” was the last option offered in the list of choices. How many people chose “no religion” because it was the first option rather than the last? Would the number of Australians identifying as Catholic in the 2016 census have remained higher than the “no religion” count if this measurement change hadn’t made it easier for those with weak Catholic identity to choose “no religion”? Unfortunately, no one knows for sure. The Australian Bureau of Statistics didn’t publish a study on the effect of this change in wording.

I think this would have the opposite effect of what is intended. Instead of supressing the vote you’re going to end up with angry people even more determined to cast a ballot bsky.app/profile/marc...

The US was supposed to be more resilient to autocracy because its Constitution, administrative state, and civil society (mostly business) decentralized authority. But this decentralization may have actually made civil society institutions easier to extort one by one.

One might interpret the Washington Post news as consistent with my ongoing claim that our legacy institutions, once thought to be the bulwark of civil society, will not save our democracy. They are simply too vulnerable to the extortion leveled by the ruling regime.
