Jews, Episcopalians The Richest, Most Successful Religious Groups?


To my knowledge, it’s Jews and Episcopalians… these two groups have the highest average education and highest average income in the United States.
But Jews are divided – the most liberal are called Reform, the most conservative are Orthodox, and those in the middle are called Conservative, while half of Jews are not religious and/or do not affiliate with any of these.
So which group of Jews is counted in the “highest average education & income” statistic? All ethnic Jews?
And how do these 4 groups of Jews compare in terms of education and income? (I would guess, from highest to lowest, the order would be:
unaffiliated/agnostic/atheist
Reform
Conservative
Orthodox
Is this correct?
Are these people’s high educational and career attainment due to something about their religions? If so, what? Or are they due to other factors? (Maybe high IQ in the case of Jews, and high class & IQ in the case of Episcopalians?)
Are there some other high-achieving religious groups? What about Unitarians? Presbyterians? Baha’i? Anyone know?
I’m assuming that Evangelicals, Baptists, Catholics and Muslims are all at the bottom… correct?

Is My Mass Effect Oc Too Much Of A Mary-sue?


I have a little OC-crew in my mind and all of them seem not too Mary & Gary Sue-ish, but I’m having problems with one of them, the youngest one. Her name is Amy and she is 14, her grandmother was one of the first humans to be subjected to Element Zero (accidentally of course) and her mother received biotic powers as well as L2 implants. Later on the Alliance found out that if they played around with the genetic coding of the first gen-biotics and subject them to just enough element zero their children could posses brain power that could out smart even the salarians. However the project was a failure, the children ended up mentally impaired, or dead within weeks of birth, that is of course except for a tiny percentage of children but the project was closed down before any of them were recorded. Amy was born shortly after the project was closed, with gifts that surpassed anything that they could ever hope for. Her mother died during childbirth so she had to live with her grandmother who was bitter towards the government, and the world for her lost daughter. That bitterness passed on to Amy, who later on became a recluse, long story short, using her extremely high IQ she became interested in bomb making, and even made business selling home made bombs and weapons to the black market under the alias “Aegis”. However, her cover was blown and mercenaries who felt like cutting the middle man stormed into her house, killed her grandmother, and kidnapped her to their base. There, my other OC unwittingly save her. With no where to go and plenty of rage to spare, she basically forced herself into his crew, saying that they wouldn’t find a better explosive expert anywhere else, which was true. So the main OC begrudgingly let her join on the exception that she does not leave the ship for field missions. Another reason way the main OC let her join was because she explained to him that because of her “power” her brain develops faster than humanly possible, so even though she is a genius, there might be a large chance that she will go brain dead or lose insanity by the time she’s 20, so she really is at the prime of her life. Another problem she faces is she has to keep her superior brainpower a secret, because she knows the minute the government find out that the project was a success they would start it back up again despite the fact that it would endanger countless of children’s lives.
