is it a conspiracy here on ATS or is it just me...
maybe I could have put this in the rant section... then again atheist love to invade our turf and attack my brethren and sisters.
signed ...the mighty messenger!
Maybe they're just trying to make the world a better place.
Ever thought about that?
Anyways, your figures are also off, since a generally accepted number for atheists in the world is around 15-20%. Those are the people that definitely
DON'T believe in a God. Among the other 80-85%, many could be called believers only for the fact that they were brought into it as children, but are
not practicing or devout believers... so the number of actual believers is vastly smaller.
Besides, many of the most developed countries in the world, who sport the highest standards of living and education count themselves among those who
have lower than 40% of believers living in the country. That means more than 60% of them are atheist. USA is, of course, an exception... but we all
know USA has been dumbed down to almost the point of no return.
On top of that, while you are happy to report that 95% of the world is theistic (which is untrue), you all fail to remember that the vast majority of
those people are the Muslim believers that this site and most of those in the USA have a special disdain for.
When you don't agree with them they're the devil, when you need them to pad your numbers then they're just a fellow believer, eh?
