Non-belief

[Phil]

I'm sure most people that have been on the internet and interested in religion for the last three years have seen the chart that lists religions by the number of adherents as

Christianity - 2.1 billion
Islam - 1.5 Billion
Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist - 1.1 Billion

What struck me tonight is that China was noticeably absent from these numbers and an estimate of nonbelievers in China ranges from .5 - 1 billion. So either way, the Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist category outnumbers Islam by at least 100 million and could possibly be on the heels of the Jewish zombie/vampire egotistical cult.

As if the numbers matter on the least.

Reality isn't determined by popular opinion.

No it isn't but it would be great to stick it down the throats of the zombie Jew crew.

Popularity is what most religions rely on to support their doctrine. Don't know the name for it ....appeal to popularity??

These figures do not take into account the rebellious kids/teens (who are included in the non-believers category) who later turn to God when they become adults.

These figures most likely don't take teens into account at all. You have to be a certain age to fill out the surveys, don't you?

Go look it up. The data seems to be from both Encyclopedia Brittanica and World Christian Encyclopedia. I would assume the lower age limit was set to 18 in most cases but I can be fairly certain the 2.1 billion Christians was inflated by the numerous infant baptisms by the Christian churches.

Assuming that's true, so what?

See the first reply.

But they take into account the countless numbers of infant baptisms in the Christian churches. What's the matter? You butthurt cause Christianity is rapidly losing it's status in the world?

Perhaps his faith depends on its popularity?
