A.S.K. your way to proof.

It's a fact that most people can convince themselves of something they want to believe if they try hard enough, long enough. I didn't put any effort at all into not believing, I just had a moment when I realized I didn't believe anymore.

Greek religion arguably extends back to Neolithic times; but certainly extends back as far as the 8th Century BCE until it was suppressed by the Christians around the 300s AD. It's time on earth (not counting modern revivals) was at least 1,100 years, probably over 5,000. The 'reasons' were Christians stamping it out once they got temporal power. That's been the death of many religions. Vedic Hinduism goes back to 3300 BCE and is still a major world religion. Is that evidence that Hinduism is the true religion?

It doesn't take stupidity, it only takes motivation. Do you think stupidity is the explanation for 1100 years or more of Greek polytheism? They believed something was there that fueled their belief.

There are 200 million 'convinced atheists' just in China, the low end of broad estimates put us at 500 million worldwide; mostly in Asia, the Pacific, and Europe; the least in North Africa and the Middle East. You might want to update your figure to 6.7% of the world's population. That's about as many atheists as Buddhists. Not to mention, as you know because it's been pointed out to you so many times, argument ad populum is a logical fallacy, if you conclusion is true, that can't be the reason it's true. There was a time when 99% of the world's population believed the earth was flat, the 99% was just wrong and the 1% were just the first to figure it out.

1. none of this address the point i made.
2. you guys have been around since the beginning of man, it's not like you just figured out atheist in the last 100 years.
there has always been a small contingent.

Getting a little less small now that most countries don't carry a death sentence for atheism....
