Survey

My survey was intended for people from ages 12 and on, however I gave it mostly to teens and young adults form ages 15-25. Eight women and eight men took the survey, two of the women were of age 30 or older. The survey asked the following questions:
Are you a religious person? (yes, no or somewhat)
Do you believe in what the bible says? (yes, no or somewhat)
Have you read the book of revelation (or the apocalypse)? (yes, no or some of it)
If you have read the book or heard of it do you believe it's going to happen? (yes , no or somewhat)
My hypothesis was that women were going to be more religious than the men, but that hardly anyone was going to be religious at all. I didn't think anyone would believe what is written in the bible and much less have heard of the apocalypse, therefore I didn't think they would believe in the apocalypse.
To my surprise, my hypothesis was almost entirely wrong, however it was not based on arbitrary thoughts, it was based on past conversations with other teens. According to the surveys. Five of the eight women were religious, one was not, and the other two were somewhat religious. As for the men, only four were religious and the other four were somewhat religious. Five of the women believed what the bible says, and three believed some of it. Two of the men believed in the bible and the rest somewhat believed. Two women and one man had read the book of revelation in the bible and none of the other men and women had read it. Five of the women and two of the men believed that the apocalypse is going to happen. The other three women and four men believed some of it is going to happen and the remaining two gentleman don't believe it is going to happen. As you can see my hypothesis was very much wrong.
I believe I got these results because I gave out the survey to almost all Hispanic people and generally Hispanics are more religious than Americans people because religion is a big part of the Mexican culture. The reason the women were more religious is probably because religion teaches about sensitivity, love, peace etc. and woman are usually more sensitive than men making it more likely for them to be religious. A lot of the men and women did not entirely believe in the bible or the apocalypse most likely because they have not read it or and/or they don't practice Christianity. Also because the book of the apocalypse is very symbolic and they might believe it is all literal, which would make it even harder to believe. These are some of the reasons I got the results I did.
It was very surprising to find out there are many teens who are religious. This survey helped me realize there are many religious people and quite a few that believe in the apocalypse.
