As for religion, I have seen surveys indicating that they are more likely to be agnostic or atheist than the general population, but this may not be saying much, and it definitely doesn't mean they're "mostly" agnostic.Novalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10501890494890617030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425732352511468694.post-84740937789836745852008-10-14T08:50:00.000-07:002008-10-14T08:50:00.000-07:00It's true and I can get you papers--it's much like...It's true and I can get you papers--it's much like the liberal predominance in general academia.

A larger, grateful readership awaits you, which you can help find you if you start by registering the blog at technorati and google, and remember to EMBED your link in the comment box when you comment on other blogs. Any questions, just ask. Oh, have you visited and commented at Dr. X, yet? http://drx.typepad.com/<BR/>I think you and Dr. X (who I adore) would share interests, and he is generous in promoting bloggers he likes. See also Jon Swift, http://jonswift.blogspot.com/<BR/>who does not do mental health, but is the wit and star of the progressive blogosphere and is devoted to boosting readership of small, quality bloggers. <BR/><BR/>As a consumer I've learned not to endorse mental health professionals on my own blog because my antipsychiatry brethren tend to swarm them with an unfortunate display of colorful disorders but I am so totally enjoying this site and have blogrolled you in a discrete fashion. Keep plugging away, this is great work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
