An extremely minor quibble with your site (I'm just trying to be helpful):

You ask for an opinion using a question: "Does god exist?", but then you allow people to provide answers as if they're agreeing or disagreeing with an affirmative statement (options: agree, neutral, disagree). The grammatical disconnect caused me some confusion when I first looked at the site. I think changing this to be either:

(1) "God exists" [agree, neutral disagree]

(2) "Does god exist?" [yes, maybe, no]

would make this more clear.

I haven't gotten to really read the above article yet, but do you think the proposed method would perform substantially better than a simple cluster analysis?

That's a good point. I've added it to the user voice feature suggestions:
