Reddit Loves Him So Pope Francis Must Be The Devil
Reddit has 58,000 subscribers to the Christianity subreddit. If you combine the total subscribers from the eight major religious subreddits, it comes to 140,000. Compare that to r/atheism's 1.8 million subscribers and it's easy to see that the site leans away from organized religion.

The Outrageous Cost of Raising Kids
It’s no secret that raising a child is expensive. Now, there’s government data that tells us just how expensive — in striking detail. From birth through seventeen years of age, parents can expect to spend an average $205,960 to $475,680, depending on their household income.

How much more can you expect to spend on your mortgage or rent once your first bundle of joy arrives? Take a look at our infographic, where we break down the cost of moving to a house with one additional bedroom (even including the added cost of utilities for that bedroom) by region and income level, along with many other interesting details.
