Scroll 3/4 of the way down for religion.

The Springs is 39% other. That is a huge chunk considering that Catholic is 30%. What religions can account for this "other" ? I am curious.

Are they counting Athiest under other, or simply leaving them out of the calculations?

Other would include other denominations of Christianity like Jehovah's Witnesses and Unitarians, and also Jews, Muslims, Wiccans, Buddhists, Sikhs, etc.

For what it's worth, I'm thinking "other" could also mean "none of your business" if they are using statistics from polls, surveys, or what have you.

Nobody asked me. *shrug*

I looked up where I currently live
//www.city-data.com/city/Tulsa-Oklahoma.html

And it is over 33% other. I wouldn't have bothered with this post if I had looked at other places. It is I guess is as otowi says, just everybody else not listed. I guess throw in atheists and agnostics too : )

Good job with the research though

Most people wouldn't have done the work for comparisons.
