its a numbers game.. pt.1

as you may have guessed, the notion of me being in a church for anything other than a social function of which i must attend or a pot luck and i have no cash for fast food. i have yet to actually do this, but it has been tempting!

the reason for this should also be obvious, i have a large dislike of religion, and my disliking of religion causes me to feel rather alone at times. rather depressed really! My hatred for anything with murmering and robes with more than two people without a hot tub is pretty much universal.

but why should i feel alone..

the reason i sometimes feel alone is that there are so few of us! i dont know many at all! sure there are some famous atheists, sure there are some that make it big on youtube. but on the whole, there just arent alot of us around by comparison to the majority of the faith filled locals that spend some time talking to themselves each day.

here is a small table of the most current statistics available for religion.

Baha'i                 0.2% 0.1% 0.1%
Buddhist         0.9% 0.7% 6.8%
Chinese Universalist 0.0% 0.2% 6.8%
Christian         82.3% 62.2% 33.1%
Confucianist         0.0% 0.0% 0.1%
Ethnoreligionist 0.5% 0.4% 3.8%
Hindu                 0.4% 0.4% 13.6%
Jain                 0.0% 0.0% 0.1%
Jewish                 1.8% 1.3% 0.2%
Muslim                 1.6% 1.2% 21.8%
Shintoist         0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
Sikh                 0.1% 0.1% 0.4%
Spiritist         0.1% 0.0% 0.2%
Taoist                 0.0% 0.0% 0.1%
Zoroastrian         0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
Neo-religions         0.5% 0.4% 1.0%
Atheist                 0.4%    0.4% 2.1%
Agnostic         11.2% 8.6% 9.9%

YES, according to these statistics, there is only a 0.4%

that means that 4 out of 1000, or 1 in 250 is an atheist!

that means that there are only about 1,204,000 atheists in the united states!

for an idea of how few that is, new york city has about 8 million, people!

so all of the atheists in the country could fill up about 1/5th the new york city!

this is how off balance we are..

now take a look at the christian section, thats a whoping 82%

that means that in a room of just 10 people, you will find 8 people who are christian!

in a group of 5, you may find up to 4 people that are christian..

we are talking about 4 in 1000, vs 4 in 5.

now, if you are an atheist, and you saw these stats, you may get a little frightened..

you may stop wondering how such stupid things come around to being, well look no firther than this, you are being controlled dramatically by the leading majorty of zombie worshipers.

The odds are against us, the odds are stacked in their favor. So, with such an advantage, why then do they seem to dislike us disbelievers so much? This is because the other religions are on the rise! oh yes, there is growth in them while on good years the christian church breaks even, and on bad ones they can loose up to %0.06!

we are still talking small numbers, but that means that every year, for every group of 1000 people in it, there is a chance that 6 will be changing religions! Why? this is because the message we give is one that permeates above all others! "be your self!", this is our motto! This is the same message that many growing religions such as Wicca pronunce to the world, and we also say to think for yourselvs as part of it.

there are many religions that serve as a stoping gap between belief and non belief, but that is all they are, a gap, a gap with a bridge that is VERY VERY Wide!

All over the world, the atheist minority rises, and the christian nation that is america is one of its last strong hold. On the world stage, the atheists have about %10 of the world, while %32 christian. All over the world people are abandoning it.

Suddenly i think that i dont feel so alone anymore!
