when the non-religious are the third largest segment in the world

and second in the U.S.

shouldn't this demonstrate something?

religion isn't hacking it for many people any more.

doesn't have the answers

like what does it mean "Jesus is the answer?"

no real answer there.

Yes, I did find the site. And you are right. The traditional answers don't do it for a lot of folks. Thanks for reading.

I thought it interesting that Vietnam was among the highest atheistic countries. There must be some correlation between that and the war that was fought there.

Interesting stats

But sort of misses the point, in that most religious people would rather be right than popular.

i see you found the site

if i remember correctly, U.s figures come from U.S. census

and i guess polls and other means.

but is is interesting.

traditional answers aren't the answer for many.
