The poll, conducted from September to October 2004, surveyed a sample of 1,200 Azerbaijani citizens and was conducted by the ADAM Social Research Center. The survey found that although 93.2 percent of Azerbaijanis identified themselves as Muslims, under 20 percent worship regularly and only 13.5 percent recognize the authority of any Islamic religious authority. Nearly 70 percent of those surveyed said that they are \"ill-disposed to people that adopted another religion.\" (Turan)
