now here's something pretty telling. atheists know more than the faithful.

"For example, most Protestants could not identify Martin Luther as the founder of the Protestant movement."

move along sheep. move along.

And most atheist would not identify Christ as the founder of the Christian Protestant movement.

....So did he nail those to the doors of the church before or after the "I have a dream" speech?

Also, atheists and agnostics tend to be better educated in general.

Interesting.

That is pretty believable. However, the circles I am familiar with would knock out everyone else out of the water.

Atheists are looking, the faithful found one?

interesting that no one has yet to point out the foundational flaw, but, i suppose, that is to be expected. why, i'm going to be as smug as a conspiracy theorist soon.

btw, my second response, and reiteration was in response to your post.

Martin Luther doesn't have jack to do with my religion.
The Bible I believe in was written long before him.

How about they only asked for the youngest people they could get a hold of? Also, atheists and agnostics were lumped together as one and were oversampled?

really, how do you know this? i kind of doubt it. i can't think of anyone i know including myself that would allow a study like that to happen.

I'm glad I could bring you some joy, in an otherwise seemingly monotonous day.

I love it when I see people discussing a higher plane of enlightenment that is so elusive to them.

I understand that it's often difficult to submit to something you don't understand, to relinquish control.

Carry on my good men.

Well, what is your "fundamental flaw" then?
