What the Polls Don't Show: A Closer Look at U.S. Church Attendance
Abstract
Aux Etats-Unis, les caracterisations de la vie religieuse font reference aux donnees de sondage sur la frequentation de l'eglise. Les hauts degres de participation rapportes par ces donnees suggerent que la population est exceptionnelement religieuse et tres peu affectee par les tendances a la secularisation. Cette image de vitalite contredit neanmoins d'autres evidences empiriques indiquant le declin de la force de nombreuses institutions religieuses. A partir de donnees issues de sources multiples et de procedure variees les AA. examinent les taux de frequentation de l'eglise chez les protestants et les catholiques, taux qui sont approximativement de moitie moins importants que les niveaux generalement acceptes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
