That Many! Really?

This is a symbol intended to encompass polyamory, skepticism, and atheism. There are several symbols for atheists and many symbols for polyamory, but no other symbols for skepticism. Also, there are many different groups and symbols for the intersection of polyamory and spirituality/religion, but only one for poly atheists. Many atheists are also not skeptics and vice versa, so a symbol for all three was created for that niche group of polyamorous people who are both skeptics and atheists. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Atheists comprised an estimated 2.01% of the population.    US Population 316,668,567.    That’s 6365038.1967 who don’t believe there’s a God.  Likely?

 

Under times when there’s no threat to their life or livelihood, that’s a pretty fair number.  But add something into the social fabric where peace is seriously threatened and I’d bet that number would dissipate quickly.

  2. The old “No Atheist in trenches” gambit. Fails reliably every time, because it’s simply another word for “lying”.

    And of course, it always depends on the question: ~15.2% described themselves as “without religion”, for example.

    • You folks always make me smile. You all make so much noise and bluster to defend your crafty lies. I don’t have the slightest care about your feelings. But you’re like school bullies who need to act big or you might loose your place of power. LOL, you’re pretty funny folk.

      • Place of power? You are thinking about the over proportional amount of US politicians who are atheists? Ups, no, they are Christians. And of course with lies you refer to such tactics as “lying for Jesus”? Ups, no, again, Christians. And of course, acting big, you mean like trying to force a fairy tale in schools instead of science? Ups, Christians again. And of course, bullying is surely a thinly veiled reference to all these atheists trying to prevent people who love each other to marry. Ups, no, Christians again.

  3. In regard to proportion, what is the proportion of bullies in school? politicians? What credibility does that title hold? Lying for Jesus? That’s an oxymoron. We force feed folks who have adopted a self destructive mode, don’t we? Is it for their detriment? And if we come up on a place where they have determined themselves to death, we leave them to die. Where have you come up on?

    Ahh….. now we get to the point. You don’t just disbelieve in God. You actually want to promote everything that’s against God’s commands. Your thinly veiled reference to homosexuality? yea. How about that?
