#2Clearly they take a weekly total and divide by 7. 7:48 of 'religious' time is just about 55minutes a week so I'm guessing an hour of church a week.
Would be interesting to do the multi-variable analysis across different factors like education, location, etc.

#46 minutes of Education is pretty sad.

Statistics are just statistics. Nothing is sad about 6 minutes when the "average" American isn't in school.

If these numbers were the result of dividing by 7, that would put the working/commuting number at 64 hours a week instead of 46.
40 minutes of non-weekend volunteering/religious activity sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I haven't seen the church part as much on the coast, but back in Texas there were a lot of people I knew who went to at least an hour's worth of in-week religious service.

the data is for "average American with a full-time job". This assumes that they have already completed their education. 6 min/day is about 36.5 hours of education, which seems quite a bit for a professional

An hour is not very much, in some churches and some places outside of the US church can go on most of the day.

I agree, with your observations, in California people might work 50 hrs a week and commute 15 hrs (90 minutes each way)
Which is why it would be interesting to compare Texas vs Arkansas vs California vs Montana vs college degree vs no degree vs rich vs poor etc etc.
