Might I interrupt you guys for a moment and actually talk about the poll? Sorry…
As I write this, 35% of the poll respondents say there is no god. I find this very interesting. If I recall correctly, something like 15% (depending on the source) of the general US population are atheists. 35% is a very high number. I wonder why this is? Perhaps it is because PPOT posters are smarter than average? Remember, there is an inverse correlation between
religiosity and intelligence. In Europe, the number of atheists is substantially higher than the US. Perhaps we have a high representation from Europe?
Only 44% are certain there is a god, which is darn close to the 35% that say there is no god. And if you add the 35% to the 12% who say there is only some entity greater than us, you have 47% who do not believe in the standard, personal Christian god. This is way higher than the general population.
Thoughts?
