I'm here, It's just hard to find questions that want an honest anwser. Asker's want answers that prove there side and justify there beliefs. Non-Christians on this forum are obviously hungry for God or else they wouldn't be here. I am proud so far of most of the Christian answers, what a good balance of truth and love!!

I believe you are incorrect in saying that Christianity is the majority of religion around the world. Christianity only makes up a percentage of world religions and I doubt Christians are necessarily the majority. Christians may very well be the majority in America, but I wouldn't necessarily say they are the majority in the world.
Let's say for argument sake that Christians are in fact the majority in the world. The Yahoo Answers Religion and Spirituality Section is not necessarily going to statistically match the percentages of different world religions (or lack thereof). Meaning just because the world may be 70% Christian (that is a made up figure I'm using here) does not mean that Yahoo Answers will have 70% Christian users.
One more thing I'd like to correct, which I think many other users already have, is that Atheists or Non-Believers are not "against God". You cannot be against something that you do not believe exists. Let's say that you don't believe aliens exist - that doesn't mean you are "against aliens".

I'm a Christian, I rarely have many questions about other faiths, I'm happy enough to go to the library or Wikipedia if I'm curious. I tend to avoid anti-religious authors like Dawkins, simply because I consider many of them too biased to be impartial. Yes, I'm showing my own bias against atheism, but I have no problem with people choosing atheism. I do resent atheists and other faiths ridiculing my beliefs, so I try not to mock theirs, it's only fair.
With regard to questions about my own faith, people have usually already asked questions or given answers on YA that have interested me. Since my father is a vicar (and ex-atheist), I got asked a lot of questions about my faith at school, so I've already examined most the "big questions" to my own satisfaction, from my own research.
I believe that Biblical creation and scientific thought are compatible. The Bible is not a science textbook, nor does science have all the answers to the questions of human existence.

First, your question is a fallacy known as an unrepresentative sample. Even if there were more Christians in the world than any other religion, that doesn't mean that there's a ratio equal to that on R&S.
Second, where do you get the idea that there are more Christians?

The hate comments scared them away. They thought this was a Religion & Spirituallity site and found something wayyyyyyy different. Most got smart and left Y!A. Pretty soon the haters on R&S will have no Christians to bully.

We're here. We're not the ones who are questioning our faith though. That's the atheists who are starting to wonder "Hey, maybe those Christians are right! Maybe God really DOES exist!"
*Atheist falls on knees and converts. Then atheist goes to Y!A and apologizes to all the Christians for all the mean, rude, and very anti Christian questions/answers/comments he/she has said.*

Brazil is 90% Catholic! Christians have faith that is unbreakable. You may be hearing all those against God on here because they feel the need to confirm their beliefs to themselves and others because they are actually unsure. And probably sad!

I've been noticing that on myspace too. I'm new at the "Answers" thing, but I've searched on myspace using "God", or "Jesus", and found that most people it seems, are criticising or making fun of God. Too bad for them!
