@CrypticMirror@mstdn.social Where does this article say it was fraudulently manipulated by evangelical Christians? YouGov carried out the research, they're a reputable secular polling company. People paid by YouGov to fill in the survey misrepresented themselves. Unless you've got evidence those people were somehow selected or manipulated by evangelicals, you should correct your claim.

@jdonoghue@hachyderm.io @CrypticMirror@mstdn.social the evangelical Christians were happy to go along with the idea that attendances were dramatically up even though they must have known that they were actually declining. That sounds pretty deceptive.

@jdonoghue@hachyderm.io But if you read to the end of the article you'll see that the Bible Society (which I assume is an evangelical christian body) has in fact been complicit : ""We've been telling them (the Bible Society) for the better part of a year that there were serious problems with the data - and even what those problems were likely to be - and they refused to engage with us." Sounds to me like YouGov were careless, and have apologised, but the Bible Society was more actively dishonest. @CrypticMirror@mstdn.social
