I'd be very interested to see the unconsidered areas (Russia and Balkans) in the survey. I suspect the Orthodox are much more religious and spiritual by nature as people. I see it in my own family and myself.

What do you mean, "spiritual by nature"?

I'm no theologist and must study actual doctrinal differences in the different forms of Christianity but it seems to me that Orthodoxy is more accepting of things existing (eg that there is a god, that Jesus was born not through Immaculate Conception) and there is not a need for analysis of things that seems to happen in Western Christianity; very fluid/visceral and can't be contained. It seems to me that some things can't be explained and people are just happy with that. Rather, its a total and utter "fatalistic" style of belief that exists in Orthodoxy. I do know that Orthodoxy does believe that man and God are one, that death is sin as opposite to guilt (original sin), this somehow must make people more religious I believe.

I hope that makes sense.
