There are 100 items from a supermarket in a bag, you tell someone to count them and tally them to make an accurate percentage.
However, they don't count them all. You end up with this figure
20% fruit
30% meat
20% vegetables
10% non-food items
Now, since you have a partial tally for non-food items, can you safely say that the other 20% of items are necessarily food items?
Let me give you an example:
When public opinion polls are conducted, and only 100 people are questioned, the results don't say: .01% of the population is pro-choice, and .003% is anti-abortion, and 99.987% did not answer the poll so we don't know how they feel. The 100 people questioned represent the entire nation in that poll. So obviously, in the Mensa poll, those who were questioned represent the entire society, not the amount of members which were questioned. Since there were categories for atheists and members with no religion, then the 19.4% remaining members are indeed theistic, but part of religions which represented smaller percentages and which were omitted from the list.
Sweet Lord, give me patience with this child!
