Who is AA?

16-18% of Americans are secular, and he states 92% of Americans are religious. We are a bunch of religious nuts in the US, but it's not that bad either.

I was also interested to read that your government gave the Parliament of World Religions $4.5 million in public funding? For all the religiosity in the US. I'm pretty certain that none of our taxes publically fund religious organizations and coalitions. We do, of course give them tax breaks on the other end however.

I don't know where the figures in the article came from, but it states that 92% of Americans believe in God. Not all people who state a belief in God would consider themselves 'religious'. Also, some people who support state secularism may also be theists.

The atheist and secular movement is doing what it can and its numbers are growing.

The one in the forest with the guy (who's a friend, not her partner)

We've met several times IRL, and she is great fun to be with...

Will be seeing her at the Melbourne conference...

It doesn't add up!

.Only 12 per cent believe Darwin's theory of natural selection, ...... 24 per cent of Australians firmly believe there is no God, and 6 per cent are pretty sure

30% of Aussies don't believe or are pretty sure god doesn't exist, yet only 12% believe in evolution.
What do the other 18% believe If not evolution or goddidit?

What do the other !8% believe If not evolution or goddidit?

Easy 4% refuse to Believe in evolution cos it's not a belief thing
4% cannot understand a word as long as evolution (but don't think their grandfather was a monkey)
