  19. And 19.4% what?  Non-responding?  Unmentionable?  Members on probation?
  20. Rastafarian, Hindu, Buddhist, and Shinto combined?  Since it's a FAQ,
  21. why not the whole breakout?  Show a little _noblesse oblige_ for us
  22. simple folk, will you?  We on the short end of the mental stick need a 
  23. little help, here.  Of the group responding (80.6%), 4.5% are atheists,
  24. for example.  Can we assume that none of the missing members are in any of 
  25. the listed categories?
