All first attendees at the Langton Clinic during 12 months beginning 1st December, 1980 were surveyed for certain demographic characteristics, including religion. Alcohol and opiate users were compared with state and national census populations. Catholics and Lutherans were more common among attendees than expected and Methodists and Orthodox less common. Persons professing no religion were possibly more common than expected, but difficult to assess because of wide state/national population differences.
