This is exactly the way to go. What you do is great but you must find ways to take it in the open, take it where people read and care. I’d like to congratulate the many-eyes folks for that.

I still don't care for that bubbly kind of chart. Wouldn't a bar chart show the relative sizes much more effectively? The bars could be sorted y value, so one wouldn't have to scan side to side to discover that Catholic, Muslim, and Greek Orthodox all share values of 10, whatever the units are (obviously not percent of the population, perhaps million people?).
