What are the rate of Christian Conversions in a non Christian country?
How can you say "15% try to fit in with their community"? You have just ascribed a reason to a person's conversion that you have no way of knowing.
It was shorthand .... some could take up a religion to get into a preferred school, some because their minority religion makes them a target, so they continue with a more acceptable woo for their environment ... on and on ....
But using a deeply Christian nation and conversions to the main woo of that nation is a cop out
You can't use that nation as an unbiased experiment that would lead to empirical evidence ...No we can't do an experiment with children totally shielded from all the Woo in the world and see how many would then believe in woo or any particular woo, but we can see that raising kids shielded from one woo and indoctrinating them with a different woo will usually lead them rejecting that woo and believing in the woo they were indoctrinated with ....
It boils down to the likely hood of anything shouldn't be decided by the indoctrinated or at least those that still hold on to that indoctrination ... as we know the likely hood that they will believe in their indoctrination is high.
So again figures for a non Christian community or nation?
Religion is the top shelf of the supernatural supermarket ... Madog
