Interesting article and the little "What class are you" quiz though is wacky. I played with data points, when asked how often do I pray, I answered never because I'm an atheist. Apparently though praying daily raises my class from 6.5 to 7? Also, working part time vs full time vs unemployed had no bearing? MSNBC has seems to have stouped to Buzzfeed level quizes.

Its not your actual class, its what people report their class to be.

So if you prayed daily, you would be more likely to rank your class higher, then someone who says they never pray. Someone who is unemployed but makes 200k a year isn't going to rank themselves low on the class scale. Especially versus someone who only makes 30k, and has to work full time.
