Yeah you do. I made up the stat, sure. It's called an exaggeration, but at least be honest.

The data I'm finding shows around 7% are atheist. Obviously that doesn't include bigfoot, aliens, karma, medical nonsense, climate alarmism, etc.

Incredibly small minority.

I would say it depends upon where one is located geographically. Sweden, for example, is 50-80% atheist or agnostic. If you are in some third world mudhole then number is about 0%

Those were worldwide numbers. And idk where you’re getting the data for that claim. Sweden is majority Christianity from what I’ve seen. Can you share your source for that?

It’s also important to note that you included agnostic. Agnostic people still believe there may be a god, should we not consider them in the same category as those who believe in other non scientific claims?

Ignorance is not knowing. You have faith. I am fine with not knowing. But at the end of the day you have faith... you do not have knowledge.

Also, there are no ties between history and the creation story found in the Bible

Let's start with the obvious. Who gives birth to children? Can a man really do that? Yet, in Genesis, the Great StoryTeller put that burden on the woman. Or how about that fabled flood? Yet, science shows in the earths layer that it was once covered in water.

Proverbs 1:29
Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord.
Proverbs 2:6
For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
Proverbs 18:15
An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 24:5
A wise man is full of strength, and a man of knowledge enhances his might.
Proverbs 15:14
The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
1 Corinthians 12:8
For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit.
Colossians 2:3
In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Proverbs 1:22
How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge?
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1)

I will accept that my Faith will one day lead to knowledge. Ignorance is not having a belief at all. You obviously have a belief that differs from mine, but it is still a belief. Thousands of years and diverse writers passed between Genesis and Colossians, yet the story is consistent.

Probably even smaller once you take into account the 30-40% who think Joe Biden is doing a good job.

Had someone legitimately in the know who has studied what all of this nonsense comes from and it harkens back to ideology that started through the Frankfurt school in Germany and led to a confusing, long winding path to the current culture war we are in today and why so many young people are disillusioned, confused, and nihilistic because of post-modernist thought. The cultural conditioning (I would say brain-washing) is in full effect and on full display right now.

So...

The idea that there is a normal, specifically with sexuality, implies that there is privilege. And for the insane left, all privilege must be destroyed. Those that are considered traditional cis and/or hetero sexual are seen as privileged because society agrees that it is normal and "healthy." Naturally, what is considered normal and healthy will be propped up by the society at large (privilege) while those that differ from what is normal will not receive the same benefits as the "privileged."

Therefore, this idea of normal must be destroyed and replaced. With what? Well, the fact that a new letter from the alphabet gets added every 6 months to LGBTWhatever, makes it appear they don't know what the f*** they are doing either.

It is less about what replaces the "normal" and more about that it just gets destroyed. It is a vicious road that will only lead to more destruction.

What is worse is that it's being force fed to young kids. This ideology must get into minds at a young age to take effect down the road. We have entered a realm where adults are brainwashing young kids with sexual perversion in order to feel good about their own sexual life choices.

It's like they are so weak that they aren't even convinced of their own sexual identity so they have to socially engineer a culture to accept their own delusions.

There is nothing non scientific about saying you don't have enough info.

I'm also unaware of any parents choosing to send their children to astrology school. But they're be limited in with those complaining about science while filling the gaps with a diety

Ignorance has nothing to do with beliefs. It is simply a lack of knowledge.

Not sure how a story of woman coming from the rib of man is supported by woman's ability to become pregnant. Science refutes the contention in the bible that there was ever a worldwide flood. As for the ark modern estimates have it at 500 plus feet long. That far exceeds man's capability at the time and the ability of Noah to complete the ark in a lifetime of hand labor. This doesn't take into account the ability of 8 people to take care of a all the animals. Assume only mammals and reptiles and assume there were only 16,000 species. That would be 32,000 animals to tend to on a daily. The ability to store the food for the animals creates more problems. I expect divine intervention will creep into your explanation, but that doesn't support your contention the bible is a book with historical roots.

Likley not, but we can discuss it at judgement day if you like.

Not believing the rib story, but believing in an explosion or that you were once a fuzzy little ape is a huge step forward. lol.

Funny thing about that evo story...where are all the current half-baked apes, or the human half evolved into the next species??

Either way, I'd rather end my days finding out I had a mental disorder, than finding out I was wrong for not believing the story.

Besides, there's plenty of historical evidence known around the holy lands to corraborate what is read in that story. If one so chooses to believe.

First, there is only one perfect person that has ever walked earth. Second, i shared those lines with a friend a decade ago. After thoughtful consideration whereas that person was questioning if they were atheist, they gave their heart to Christianity and hasn't looked back. In the end, it's not a game of chicken many want to play.

List of countries by irreligion - Wikipedia.

agnostic - "a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God." I would think they would be best included on atheist side of the equation.

That includes people who are “spiritual” and “deists”. Seems “non scientific” right? Agnostic is obviously a gray area, but clearly deists and anyone who believes in a spirit would not count, right?

The rates are incredibly low, everywhere

Right now they are poised to destroy themselves from within, and seem to be on hte path of doing so. that's the fallacy of corporations not remaining neutral in the political arena. Disney's CEO is TG or something and has decided to impose that on behalf of the company. That will eventually force employees to believe the same or be ousted and that is not legal. You place yourself on the path to violate EEO laws as you are creating a workplace where only one type of employee is accepted and the rest are denied because they disagree. There are probably alot of missed lawsuits right now over this.

The saying up until the recent Woke onslaught within the last few years was it was a good idea for employees to stay away from politics in the workplace because it's toxic. Now we have management talking politics to employees. Go figure.

Again, this whole issue is a motte and bailey. The motte being “zomg any discussion of these subjects is groomers!” and the bailey being “discussing topics that parents may deem inappropriate without parental consent is inappropriate.” I’m not interested in attacking the Bailey. I’m not saying it isn’t happening. I’m not saying it isn’t bad. I don’t know and I don’t really care for the purposes of this discussion. It falls within the domain of the parent and is fair game for majority rule, in public schools*, so long as regulation comports with constitutional protections of the minority.

With that said, your post is a retreat to the bailey:

If all you’re doing is saying it’s parents don’t know, then I agree.

If you’re saying it can’t be allowed because some parents might not know, then my response is unchanged: assuming that parents can’t be trusted to recognize abuse or decide what’s best for their child is the same failed regime that’s being overthrown. You’ve just substituted your own cultural norms and preferences for the leftist teachers’ union school board cartel.
