The correct statistical test is a Chi-Squared test of independence, which
basically tests whether the proprotions are all the same for the two
columns. I did the test for the entire table, which is highly
statistically significant (error < e-27), the table without SATANAS, which
is highly statistically significant (error < e-15), and for the table
without SATANAS and PETROS, which is not statistically significant (error =
.12).
I used the frequencies, which I've pasted below. The proportions are from
Steven Cox's original request.
Now, whether the statistical significance has any meaning is a question I
can't answer.
