How many members are there of the American Athiests Org.?

Question

Okay so I asked in several ways if there were beliefs that Athiest held in common beyond a lack or non acceptance of any belief in God and I was told almost unannomusly that there was not. Then I asked another question and was given quite a list of Atheist organizations and their realted affiliations and most have creeds of belief that suggest otherwise. What's up? Are these just isolated nonprofit lobbies promoting an agenda or is there more to organized Atheism than many of you know, are willing to let on, or do you all just not subscribe to the beliefs of the American Atheists Org.?

See this link and the first answer to my prior question for many other organization links.

Answer 1

I'm not sure what answer you really want. Estimates vary in the United States;so while 50 percent of us go to church almost regularly (on weekends), another 14 percent do not believe in any god. That doesn't mean that every atheist is a member of the American Atheist Association, and there are many Atheist organizations that aren't related at all.

Ellen Johnson, President of the American Atheist organization estimates there are 25 million US atheists. I've read someplace that 36 percent of Great Britian classifies themselves as non-believers.

Statistics of Atheism:

Many say not to believe God, but they do not like to be identified as atheistic, perhaps for the offensive matrix.
Thus, the statistics it comes with two results:
Country - (% of atheistics) - (% do not believe God).
In the decreasing order:
Sweden--46-85% - - Vietnam--81%- - Denmark--43-80% - - Norway--31-72% - - Japan--64-65%- - Czech Republic --54-61%- - Finland --28-60% - - France --43-54% - - South Korea --30%-52% - - Estonia --49% - - Germany --41-49% - - Russia --24-48%- - Hungary --32-46% - - Netherlands --39-44%- - Britain --31-44% - - Belgium --42-43% - - Bulgaria --34-40%- - Slovenia --35-38%- - Israel --15-37%- - Canada --19-30%- - Latvia --20-29%- - Slovakia --10-28%- - Switzerland --17-27%- - Austria --18-26%- - Australia --24-25% - - Taiwan --24% - - Spain --15-24% - - Iceland --16-23%- - New Zealand --20-22%- - Ukraine --20%- - Belarus --17%- - Greece --16% - - North Korea--15% (? ) - - Italy--6-15% - - Armenia--14%- - China --8-14% (? ) - - Lithuania--13% - - Singapore--13%- - Uruguay--12%- - Kazakhstan--12%-

China with a population of 1.313.973.713 (July 2006 est.) it is an officially atheistic Country. In China Daoistas (Taoistas), added Buddhists and Christians represent 3% 4% of the population and Muslen only 1% 2% of the population, that is the smashing majority is atheistic. Therefore, Chinese also are human beings and they do not adore God none and they are not destroyed nor punished therefore, for the the opposite, China has presented a surprising growth and probably it will be the biggest economic and military power of this planet.
In U.S.A. 10% of the population they are atheistic. (source: CIA)

Statisticians 2004 on the 10 bigger religions in the world:

1. Muslen 20,12%,

3. Atheistic 14.39% (Atheistic and Not-Religious),
4. Hindus 13,34%,
5. Buddhists 5,89%,
6. Protestants 5,8%,
7. Orthodox 3,42%,
8. Anglicanos 1,23%,
9. Sikhs 0,39%,
10. Jews 0,23%,
plus all other added religions 12,61%.

The question to imagine, to assume, to exist perpetual life has origin in the proper psychology vanity person and ambitious person of the human being. First it imagined a “God Perpetual” and later he wanted to imitate the “God” who he himself imagined and if to become perpetual also and if imagined possessing of a perpetual spirit, wanted to resemble the “God” who he himself created in its imagination! Another illusion is the case of an illusion producing. Souls is ghosts and ghosts do not exist.

* Whenever to look at for the Sky; it always remembers this:

Souls and Gods does not exist!

Answer 3

I'm Canadian. I'm not an American atheist. If I were, I might be interested, but I'm not. I have checked out Canadian organizations, and I'm just not into it. I'm not a "joiner", and some of the sites put me off. I didn't leave religion to get sucked into "groupthink" elsewhere. I do communicate with non-believers online in a few different forums, I do a lot of reading on my own, and I would like to meet with some of the members of my discussion group some day, but to socialize, not as part of any kind of political movement. I am working on a web site of my own, with an American atheist, and the results should be interesting. It will not make any statements about "beliefs" or "teachings". Dictionary definitions, maybe, but that's it. I would never presume to misrepresent, or even represent, atheists on on any subject. It won't be political, it will be social. A place for like-minded individuals to meet and discuss whatever they'd like to discuss, and any references provided would have to be evaluated by each individual, they can make their own choices.

Each person kind of blazes their own trail when it comes to atheism. Theism isn't a religion, and neither is atheism, or antitheism, for that matter. Any site that states unequivocally that "atheism teaches that there is no god" is false. Many atheists simply lack the belief that god exists, they do not assert that god does not. That is two different kinds of atheism, so a site like that would lose me right there. If information is going to be put out there, and make blanket statements that I know to be false, then I know that someone is wrong and ignore it. There are more more accurate and reliable sources of information regarding atheism than the Internet, and they would be my first choice.
