I will note as well, that everyone is encouraged to complete
the survey according to the instructions as best they can.

I took the survey.  It's pretty well done, especially since writing surveys is way more difficult than it seems like it should be.  One thing that I did have an issue with though is your designation of father referring to biological father.  My father is not my biological father, for example, but is my adoptive father.  He is the only father that I have ever known though and is no less my father than any biological father would be.

For that reason I answered all questions pertaining to my father, as if they meant him, even though doing so technically went against the directions of the survey, which said I was to answer for my biological father.

Your issue will be copied down and noted.

Purpose of survey?

Hi Calm, 

I had heard of the idea popularized by Doctor of Psychology Paul Vic
that atheism was linked to negative relations with one's father. 
But he was criticized for having too small a sample size. 

So I thought I would conduct a survey to see what's true. 
It's good to have a sizeable sample from a variety of 
groups, not only agnostics and atheists but 
Protestants, Catholics, Mormons, Muslims and Wiccans/Pagans as well.

Is this survey academic in nature?  Are you pursuing a Master's or Doctorate?  Are you part of a research team?

The survey is not affiliated with a University, nor am I pursuing a Master's or Doctorate. 
Although I am not part of a research team a form of the survey was community-reviewed 
and does have the interest of a PhD and a behavioral psychologist. 

Hello everyone,
