All my UU friends call themselves Unitarians.

That's probably because they go to a church that was Unitarian before the merger.  I go one that was Universalist and I personal identify far more with Universalism than Unitarianism.  Besides, in my opinion the whole classical Unitarian/Trinitarian dispute within Christianity is one that primarily matters to theologians.  The dispute between Universalism and the doctrines of Annihilationism and Eternal Damnation is far more relevant to lay people, including myself.

I didn't realize any religions fell in the lower right sections. Interesting.

I'm actually extremely confused about that.  I wouldn't consider Methodists nor Episcopalians to be particularly right-wing economically, from my experience.

Doctrinally, no.  But individually, yes.  Both denominations tend to draw more from middle class and upper class individuals than they do from people who are lower class economically.

"Liberal Protestants" are not so liberal after all, at least economically speaking.

The Atheist/Unitarian/Agnostic dynamic is quite interesting with regards to economic issues, as well.  My theory is that agnostics are more conservative fiscally because they don't really have an agenda(and tend to have other traits corresponding with fiscal conservatism), whereas atheists tend to be fairly staunch secular humanists, given the potential stigma of the label.

I was a bit surprised by where the Quakers ended up.  Granted, it may be due to small sample size, both in the poll and in my personal experience, but the local Quaker congregation is definitely left-of-center economically rather than slightly right-of-center.

I don't see Baha'i on there. Sad I'm guessing it would be towards the bottom center?

Actually, it makes some sense for them to be off the chart.  One of the tenets most Baha'i hold to is non-involvement in partisan politics.
