Evolution Trumps Creationism

[Drich]

Actually, the table is right...
The text, they got from the CIA factbook:
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications...os/xx.html

while the table comes from a pew worldwide demographic study:
http://www.pewforum.org/2012/12/18/globa...cape-exec/
Where they state

At the same time, the new study by the Pew Forum also finds that roughly one-in-six people around the globe (1.1 billion, or 16%) have no religious affiliation. This makes the unaffiliated the third-largest religious group worldwide, behind Christians and Muslims, and about equal in size to the world’s Catholic population. Surveys indicate that many of the unaffiliated hold some religious or spiritual beliefs (such as belief in God or a universal spirit) even though they do not identify with a particular faith.

The Religiously Unaffiliated

The religiously unaffiliated population includes atheists, agnostics and people who do not identify with any particular religion in surveys. However, many of the religiously unaffiliated do hold religious or spiritual beliefs. For example, various surveys have found that belief in God or a higher power is shared by 7% of unaffiliated Chinese adults, 30% of unaffiliated French adults and 68% of unaffiliated U.S. adults.

Still more than 2%...

I honestly don't care. The point I was making was that Atheist are by far in the minority. And for a small miniority to say that just because the majority does not think and act as we do make them crazy, in of itself is crazy.

Why not address that point?

I see you were confused by the table allow me to paste the first line of the wiki page for you:

But further down the page, in the notes, it says:

Nonreligious includes agnostic, atheist, secular humanist, and people answering 'none' or no religious preference. Half of this group is theistic but nonreligious. According to a 2012 study by Gallup International "59% of the world said that they think of themselves as religious person [sic], 23% think of themselves as not religious whereas 13% think of themselves as convinced atheists".

Now you're looking at 13% being atheists and 36% claiming not to be religious and a total of 41% not professing to be religious. That's a slight bit more than 2.01%.

Lets give you the benfit of the doubt, and say 1/2 do. then what? that still leaves 1/3 of the world's population as being High functioning 'delousional' people.

It's a lot less in light of the second set of statistics.

Again I don't care. But I would like to point out the difference between an Atheist and the Non religious. Atheist=No God, Non Religious means does not submit to organized religion. I was 'non-religious' durning my wife's Drug addiction which was almost 10 years of my life. That did not make me an atheist. In fact I made me stronger in my faith.

How many knocks did it take for the neighbor? One more than you are willing to give.

Typical bullshit. If you prayed to God numerous times to find your faith and you don't and then give up, if only you'd prayed one more time you'd have found Jesus. That's why Drich believes that his a/s/k always works, but for anyone who it doesn't work for if they'd only a/s/k'ed one more time then God probably would have revealed himself.

In other words, you have to keep seeking the Lord until you give in and become religious. Anyone who prays and doesn't get an answer just wasn't praying enough.

I did not truly understand the meaning of A/S/K till some time after I left my religion.
