Can't find my source just now, but there was a news program where an atheist activist said that about 1 to 3% of the US is atheist. But still on it's face value, most atheists do not belong to any group so how do you count them?

Btw, 99% of all people coming to the USA today are religious. Mexicans are 99.9% Catholic.

In a recent Gallop Poll, 66% of the US wants creationism taught in all schools.

Seattlefan74, says,

" I'm not sure where you are getting your information, but there are more atheists than that. The actual percentage of atheists who are also not spiritual is about that much, but when combined with spiritual atheists, the number is closer to 9.4%. That's over a fifty percent increase since 1990"

Just what and who would be classified as a "spiritual atheist" and the better question is how does one say they are an atheist yet claim to have a spirit.

Atheist means to believe in nothing, no gods, no super natural, nothing.

I'm not sure where you are getting your information, but there are more atheists than that. The actual percentage of atheists who are also not spiritual is about that much, but when combined with spiritual atheists, the number is closer to 9.4%. That's over a fifty percent increase since 1990. I hope if we ever do pass you as a plurality that we don't use it as an excuse to do what similar groups have done in the past and strike out against religion. It always seems that oppressed people who gain power tend to become oppressors themselves.

It only takes one with God.....Gideon thought he need 3,000 men God reduced it to 300. Elijah thought he needed help,God brought fire from heaven. David fought the Palestine's the giant thought such a little lad,but David killed him with a stone. Noah built and ark with little help and God made him a nation. Jesus came into the world yet one man changed the nations and still he is a mystery today. Yet his word lives on. Daniel and three little boys turned the world around because they trusted God and saved the people of a kingdom. Ester made queen and saved the Jews from a genocide. Many or by few Gods word will come forth.

That is just what I was going to say... It is a pickle, isn't it? How do we Christians oppress and cut off all free thought, and yet still find a way to grow spiritually or exercise our own free thought?

Oh yeah...Join the herd...MOOOOO!

Working on another witch hunt eh? After the atheists you can go after the pagans, then the Muslims then the Jews. Or do you really have a preference in which order you want to eliminate people?

1.5% of the population is atheist? I think it's a bit higher than that...care to quote your sources? Or were you just pulling a small number out of thin are????

Worrying about being "displaced" doesn't seem very Christian.

Have you read anything that was written about Jesus Christ or ever cracked open the New Testament?

Many of you are atheist and are afraid to admit it. So I imagine your numbers are closer to 50%.
