After all, with a 16,000 kid sample, the results should suffice to distinguish between catholics and protestants. I agree that they should specify the religion of the kids.

If for no other reason, I said that they should acknowledge that believing in a higher being can be a stress reliever because often religion presents for us alternative methods and a sense of guidance to get through life's problems other than what we can think of. Its just AMAZING to see what lengths some people will go to deny God.
