As a Boomer Catholic I check two fringe boxes :). At least I'm male! But apart from the quality of your work, a main reason I subbed is that I've always had a major gap in my understanding of the Protestant/Evangelical world (and certainly Calvinism), a bit of a handicap as an American Christian. And your Three Worlds piece is a ridiculously useful framework compared to my vague realization that things sure are different than when I was growing up--where, for example, we opened every day in my public elementary school on Long Island NY with a simple prayer thanking God and closing with an "Amen."
I enjoy the city-analysis pieces as well, since I have eclectic interests including admiration for Jane Jacobs.

Carry on, I wish you every success.
It is odd that there are a lot of Catholics I interact with - such as yourself - but the Catholic share was lower than I expected in my survey.
