Religion belief (postlife + god + pray)
Three religion-belief items on the same GSS 2024 wave — afterlife (dichotomous), god (6-pt ascending), prayer frequency (6-pt descending). pray is textbook bimodal-asymmetric (31.5% several-times-a-day + 21% never, with only 6% at the once-a-week midpoint), god is left-skewed at "know God exists", postlife is left-skewed at "yes". The shelf is the round-38 finding rendered across three different scales.
