I did not know that, it's a much higher percentage than I expected.
And why are all these other religions hardly discussed around here if there's so many followers? I asked about Baha'i a few days ago, and only a handful of people knew what I was talking about.

Dag, it cut my question off. It was...
"Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist are the 3rd highest rank beliefs in the world."

Wow, one answer? Am I surprised? No.
They're all Christians wether they think that or not. If you believe that Jesus is the son of God, that makes you a Christian, even if you follow a different what denomination.
They probably wouldn't care that athesits, agnostics, nonreligious, and secular are bunched together...even though those are completely different belief systems.

Wow, I had no idea there were so many people classified as Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic /Atheistic. Thank you for the link to a very informative website. I myself am an agnostic theist. As an agnostic theist, I affirm an inability to know about the non existence of a deity or deities and claim that this inability leads me to a belief with in a category of myth containing both soul and spirit.

This, I think, is a fairly western web site really: the interweb is only available to people with computers...I have just done a large project in India for one of the largest retail chains looking to move out there....1700 seperate religions were encountered on our study: all of whom live harmoniously side by side...as many languages too: ain't too many computers in the parts I went and had a look round
I think that the main issue is that the agnostics and christians on this web site at least have so much fun locking horns that the others just sit back and quietly applaud themselves for not getting involved in the first place...
Thanks for the link too, I will have a dig around that web site for some REALLY stupid questions later on...

It's odd that they lump off the Catholics, Baptists, Mormons, Methodists, etc, etc all together as "christians"
Most of them say that those other guys aren't christians at all.
They all think that they are the only "true christians"

No one talks about my religion here except me but that is ok. Most don't know very much about it anyways. It is Kemetic Orthodoxy.
