This meme doesn't reflect reality since atheism is very widespread and tragically spreading quite fast. The largest country in the world (China) is more or less atheist. They are also a majority in many parts of Europe and the West Coast.

It is a reality for many atheists because many of them get ostracized by their Christian families (not to mention to what happens to those in Muslim families). For instance, Dan Baker got divorced by his wife. Thinking Atheist also has problems with his family, as does Hemant Mehta. Paulogia was ostracized by his whole community once he became an atheist and his wife divorced him so he can see his kids only occasionally. And so on.

Theists sure like to criticize Scientologists, but Christians and muslims indulge in the same cult behavior because it's not a "cult behavior" but religious behavior.

Regions in Scandinavia, Germany, Czechia, France, and pretty much anywhere in Europe you will find regions with a majority of atheists and non-religious people.

You say this as though it is a bad thing not to have an invisible, undetectable friend!

Invisible but not undetectable. I do consider it a bad thing, incidentally, but how my statement gives that impression is a mystery to me.

Believe in it enough, and anything is detectable due to personal, subjective bias. Which is to state what one merely thinks has been personally detected does not necessarily exist outside of the ever mindful concept.

At work.

Hello!

Just two things.

1) This is supposed to be a picture joke thread. Jus' sayin' politely. (I'm a bit of a joke. So I'm half way there. )

2) What is this 'Detectability' of which you speak in regrds to a diery? Perhaps offer your 'Detections' in a new thread?

Cheers

Wikipedia:

Quote:According to a 2010 Eurostat Eurobarometer Poll, 51% of European Union citizens responded that "they believe there is a God", whereas 26% answered that "they believe there is some sort of spirit or life force" and 20% said that "they don't believe there is any sort of spirit, God, or life force" and results were widely varied between different countries.

According to another Poll about religiosity in the European Union in 2012 by Eurobarometer 16% are Non-believers/Agnostics and 7% are Atheists.72% of EU citizens are Christians and 2% are Muslims.

Eurobarometer survey 2019, percentage of atheists (+ agnostics):
