North Dakota Statehood Challenge?
editRelated video: https://www.youtube.com/IJrOMvgu8sQ
Basically, because of the language in the US Constitution, there's a serious challenge to whether North Dakota was legally a state until 2012, when the state corrected the issue. Shouldn't this topic be relevant to this article? 2601:147:4100:B90:119D:608B:F62D:841B (talk) 14:19, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
2022 American Values Atlas Data
editHi, @TheLionHasSeen:.
- Click "list"
- Scroll down.
The data is there. There's a glitch (on some devices?) where it says N/A. KlayCax (talk) 18:21, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Data:
- White evangelical Protestant: 21
- Mainline Protestant: 28
- Hispanic Protestant: 2
- Other non-white Protestant: 1
- White Catholic: 28
- Jewish: 1
- Buddhist: 1
- Unaffilated: 12
- New Age: 6
- 21 + 28 + 2 + 1 = 52 for Protestantism. KlayCax (talk) 18:28, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
Religion Graph
editThe graph for the religion section is extremely confusing, it lists New Age being 6% of the religion and sites this American Values Atlas. There are almost no New Age institutions with that big of a traction within this state, and then the paragraphs accompanying it site the Pew Research Center which was the old graph and was much more accurate to the states demographics, so what is this new graph then? Los Pobre (talk) 19:20, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- Does the reference refer to New Age specifically, or new religious movements in general? Walt Yoder (talk) 20:19, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- In general, in all my years in this state there hasn’t been anything remotely prominent enough to be showing 6% of the population. Los Pobre (talk) 14:34, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
The 2020 PRRI study (National overview) just has "Another religion" rather than trying to separate "other religions" from "new-age religions". Without a definition of what this means (and the 2022 site doesn't have any additional details), we should group "New age" into "other". Walt Yoder (talk) 22:11, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- Why was the data changed in the first place? This PRRI one seems very odd in percentages compared to the Pew Research graph, again, the 6% New Age and furthermore 1% Buddhism (I believe 1%, I just remembering seeing it) was marked on there, compared to Islam, which there is an actual viewable presence of in areas like Fargo or Grand Forks yet wasn't even on the graph by my memory.
