Affective neutrality is common to ascetic Protestantism and science; it should therefore reveal itself in a greater scientific and technological output of Protestant societies. Analysis of Sorokin's data on discoveries and inventions exposes their flaws. Tabulation of his figures in the form of population-productivity ratios reveals, contrary to Sorokin's interpretation of his data, the higher productivity of Protestant countries. Independent data confirm this and strongly suggest that a substantial proportion of Catholic countries' inventiveness came from people of Protestant background
