The two most interesting questions to me are what percentage of the US is Roman Catholic and where does the US rank in HIV/AIDS deaths. The percentage of Roman Catholics is 23.9%. I thought there was more people who were Roman Catholic because it seems like most people I know are Catholic. I was surprised to see that the US was ranked 18th for HIV deaths because I wasn't aware there were that many people in our country who are affected by HIV in the US.
