I said for religious selection 3,300 is too small a sample size. Their previous studies show they have much larger sample sizes for religious diversity. There’s over 4k religions in the world and while those aren’t all represented in the US I think the sample size should exceed the possible variety.
Only 3,300 surveyed? Come on, Pew, get those numbers up.
Still a good sign.
3,300 is actually a relatively large sample size.
For denominational preferences across the US? Respectfully disagree.
Statistical analysis 101. You don’t really get to have you own opinion.
Okay I’ll go off facts instead: Pew’s Religious Landscape Study in 2014/2017 says they surveyed 35,000 Americans.

What’s the fact here? That this study had more than ten times the sample size?
That doesn’t make 3,300 an insufficient sample size. It just means this study had a larger sample size.
And yeah, that study may have different numbers, but it is based on decade-old polling, so of course it does.

….that’s a very large sample size and way more than enough for accuracy.
