Thanks for the religion stats link.

Interesting to see that "Mormon" ranks at roughly twice that of "Unitarians" (admittedly along with "...and other liberal faiths"). Yet everyone has heard of Mormons and they wield tremendous power (not always used for good, IMHO) while many have not heard of UUs and we wield cups of coffee (inside joke, sorry).
