Letter to the Editor

I look forward to your monthly column "Around the World With One Question". The report that sticks out to me the most is this past month's article entitled "How Often Do You Pray?" I found this to be especially interesting since it permeated the usual boundaries that many publishers draw to avoid religious controversy. This question follows others such as "When is the last time you called your mother?" I find this recent spiritual inquisition to be oddly casual and abruptly intrusive. The diagram is appealing but the information included is quite limited. I was slightly confused as to how this information was obtained. From the phrase "global survey", I have been led to believe these statistics generated from an online poll. I also wonder how many religions are represented in these figures. Your response is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
