Drug use and Religion (1 Viewer)

[Vector]

Looking for some help here as my google searches are coming up empty.

I would like to know if anyone here has any statistical information on percentages of religious affiliation for drug abuses. To be more exact, what religions have the lowest percentage of identified drug addicted believers.

I can't find what I need in any google or web search and I know there are some highly educated and intelligent members here. Shot in the dark, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction to get this information.

Thanks.

I always just assumed that everyone that believed in floating fairymen and talking snakes was on drugs.

Why? There are so many other variables involved.

Maybe start by assuming Islam and Mormonism will have the fewest identifying addicts, since they have the staunchest hardline stances against drug and alcohol use. Meaning that if nothing else there's way more incentive to keep it to themselves.

Then conduct some searches using that kind of language (and variants on it). "Mormons report lowest rates of drug use," and like such as. Might lead to comparative studies if you focus on language of comparison, and having a good idea what specifics to plug in can help avoid overly-broad-search syndrome.

Mormons, Seventh Day Adventists, Amish on the one hand, Rastafarians on the other.

Catholics tend to drink a lot, especially the Irish.

Especially?

Can I fire them for that?

At the moment yes. But perhaps drinkers should be a protected class.

I meant being Irish.

Anywhere you find four Irish Catholics together, you'll find a fifth.
