The idea was raised in chat of running our own community survey/census.
Do you think this would be a good idea? What sort of questions would be good to include?

Some basic demographic questions like country of residence and current church denomination attended (if any).
For the Christian members, at what stage of life they became a Christian.
Personal devotional metrics: how frequently you attend church, read the Bible, pray, etc
I'd like to know the ratio of people who come here because they use StackOverflow and stay for the Christianity vs the ratio of people who came here because of google searches. And if you are a Christian programmer type, something about your comfort level as a Christian in your professional life.
I think it would be interesting to also see some beliefs and how they may differ within the same denominations. This is pretty broad but it might be interesting to put some in.
Or even ask on scale of 1 to 10 how well you think you know other denomination. This could be hard to do from a survey point of view as there are thousands but I feel like you could limit it to the top 10 most common or something.
Maybe some questions on theology and politics:
To what extent do you think the church should be involved in politics
Do you approach politics as a single issue voter
If you are a Christian would you ever vote for a non Christian politician
Other ideas?
