42% of people found it depressing, 41% found it brilliant...

When I looked it was at 55% depressing, 27% brilliant.

I find the number of people that find this story depressing or scary to be a bit depressing and scary.

I would expect that P(X doesn't respond) would consist of both P(X is apathetic about religion) as well as P(X is apathetic about questionnaires), amongst other reasons.
