This started when I said that I think the number of people who believe in god (whether religious (organised belief) or not) is increasing. I do think it is. I also wouldn't be surprised if the number of people who leave religion yet continue to believe in god is increasing. It doesn't actually mean anything in terms of atheism or theism being correct, however, so none of us have a reason to have any stake in whether what I said is correct or not. It doesn't matter, it's just numbers. I may be wrong, but I don't particularly mind either way. Incidentally, the reason why I believe that the number of people who believe in god is increasing, is because I believe that within a few years, the world as we know it is going to radically alter, and that many people are waking up to this, but that's another subject altogether.
Haha! That is not a response to my post in any fucking way whatsoever. You were arguing with people as to whether or not your beliefs qualify as 'religious beliefs'. My post explained that, yes they are religious beliefs, as they contain a deity. A 'religion' doesn't always require belief in a deity, but belief in a deity is always 'religion'.
And now I am repeating myself because you can't maintain a coherent discussion.
