Very few surveys (including, the US Census) get an 85% response rate!
Then they should be taken with a grain of salt and their level of accuracy esteemed far less.

It would follow that most philosophers are atheists. Which is what this thread is about.
Oh, and of course, it means people who actually think about stuff don't believe in bullshit as much.
Okay, but it wouldn't actually mean that what they don't believe in as much (i.e. your so-called "bullshit") isn't true. It could still be true and, in that context, would simply mean that they didn't believe in the truth as much. But the mere fact that some group of people doesn't believe a particular thing does nothing to prove or demonstrate the falsehood of that thing they don't believe. This is merely an argument from authority...nothing more.
