Originally posted by Adrift View PostEh, no. That severely strained interpretation of the data won't work for you. The survey specifically points out that only those who had selected, "You don't believe there is any sort of spirit, God or life force" are atheists. They do this by pointing out that "atheists" are most common in France and the Czech Republic for having selected that particular phrase.

Originally posted by JimL View PostWell we will have to agree to disagree then Adrift. To me, If 100 people are asked if they believe in god and only 33 answer in the affirmative, then I take that to mean that only 33 believe in god. The remainder may believe in other things like life force or whatever, but if they don't believe in god, then they don't believe in god.

"Overall I would rate the withdrawal from Afghanistan as by far the best thing Biden's done" --Starlight
"Of course, human life begins at fertilization that’s not the argument." --Tassman
