Infographic: GOOD Magazine and Column Five

It's no secret that the distribution of wealth is inequitable in the United States across racial, regional, and socio-economic groups. But there is a distinct variance among and within America's faiths as well. This transparency takes a look at the income levels of America's major religious groups, as compared to the average U.S. income distribution.
Apparently, it's good to be Hindu (43% earning more than $100,000) and Jewish (46%).

I'm sure they refused to give out that information, it would be out of the ordinary for them if they did supply information. Even if they did though, would you trust it?
But the religion has (1) long maintained a very strict anti-education attitude (which has loosened slightly in recent years) and (2) encouraged people to maintain a subsistence level lifestyle, to spend the extra time volunteering for the religion.
Of course, they also tend to convert poorer people more often than rich people, so it becomes self-selecting.
Irrelevant opinion. This post is about religions in the US.
