Hi Akshay, It depends upon how the circles are calculated. If each circle encloses all of the members of each group, yes. I doubt you would get perfect separation in any real example, though. At the moment: Hanukkah is finished, Margashirsha Punima has just happened and Christmas is coming up. No matter how devout the adherents, I don't think you would find news articles that only mentioned one of these festivals. Less facetious groupings would suffer the same eclectic problem.
