I wish the Nat Geo survey covered that as well. I would have loved to known the difference in the numbers from the same survey group. I’m kind of a by the numbers person on this topic.

The only aggression here is yours. Responding to your reply to me by asking you what makes believers the sub-culture using the common understanding of the terms zeitgeist and sub-culture is not aggression and neither is explaining myself when misunderstood.
That’s perfect. I had a moment like that with D&D. Back in the early 80’s D&D players were looked at like satanists and cult members. It kind of made us feel like a group under siege. Even when the D&D Saturday morning cartoon was released we felt that way. 30+ years later and I still feel like it’s a small group when the truth is that it is quite mainstream these days.
