Shouldn't that be less atheists than theists?

Except on the interwebz of course.

Sure if you ignore all our differences and count all their differences then sure were a bigger group than individual sects.

Just seems an extremely strange way to ago about comparing groups :/

Well I don't actually think there are any groups in any walk of life, we're all individuals and we're all different, but we all associate with labels. Maybe I shouldv'e explained more clearly for you as it is obvious you think within the boxes of labels on humanity, I tend to forget we're not all deep philisophical thinkers.

..philosophical*

Anyway. It was you who said there were more atheists than christians. Which is clearly not true. Far more people identify themselves as christians as opposed to atheists.

Really? Have you asked them all? Or have you just gone by some internet statistics? I don't tend to believe everything the media or statistics tell me so I wouldn't actually know it just seems more people I meet tend not to believe in God or follow religion as it doesn't have the same significance it once did.

Also sorry for spelling a word wrong, your attempt to correct a spelling doesn't make you appear any less dumb.

Its ok my Lord. Forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.

I know precisely what I am doing.

If I could be absolutely certain that the god of the Bible exists as described, I would never bend my knee to it. Never.

Survey data, government statistics like the census. All disagree with your idea that somehow there are more atheists. Ive never seen any information that suggests otherwise.

So you prefer to pull information out of nowhere beyond your own limited personal experience. Sounds smart..

You seem to misunderstand my motivations. I did it for my own amusement. I don't care how smart or dumb you think I am.

You don't care how dumb or smart I think you are, and you think I do? A little tip for the future, make sure your argument doesn't contradict your own.

That post is a mess. I said I don't care how smart you think I am. That doesn't affect what I think of your intelligence. I'm perfectly capable of not caring what you think while caring about what I think.

Believe your personal experience on everything if you want. But your going to look a bit of a tit when you try make generalizations based on your personal experience.

Ah well, maybe you'll look a bit of a tit to the small minority of people NOT brainwashed by statistics and the media. An example of this is the Conservative government in the U.K recently giving out statistics of Eco growth then it was instantly proven on the news that this was bullshit and the government were slated for giving people misleading false evidence.

Statistics are not always right ... think first thats all I'm saying.
