Typographical error or bias against Turkey in this graph

[edit]

Turks are indicated to believe in God by 95%, the exact same number as given for Malta--yet the graph is drawn in such a way as to make it appear that Turks are even more religious than the Maltese. Is the number given (95%) in error? Or is there an attempt to graphically distort the statistics the graph purports to represent? Tomertalk 09:20, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I notice that as well. Also on a few countries the percentages don't add up to 100. 98.196.78.26 (talk) 20:20, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's because the category "Don't know" was left out. --Wwwdigi (talk) 20:27, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The data appear to be taken from [1] as referenced in the image description, more specifically from the diagram at page 9. The countries are sorted by "Belief in God" portion, but since the "Don't knows" were left out - the bars appear to be out of proportion to the actual percentages. 77.254.252.105 (talk) 12:08, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Both Netherlands and France have 34% for the blue bar, but still they are different in length. --Helios 10:40, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
