Question

Also for atheists:do you have any agnostics, or christians, or jews, or hindus, or... on your contacts and who is one of your favorite NON-ATHEIST
same question applies to all others

former fool if you have to post in each question that you were a former atheist, you are trying tooo hard it is obvious you are a PHOENY!

Answer 1

It fluctuates constantly. I would say that there is an over-proportion of atheists compared to others, mostly because atheists find it hard to speak out unless they are pretty anonymous, at least in certain areas. I live in Missouri, the state that tried to declare itself (by legislation) a Christian state. I feel very brave whenever I wear my Flying Spaghetti Monster tee shirt out in public.

On the other hand, among Christians, I think fundamentalists seem over-represented and moderates under-represented. That's because they see this as an opportunity to proselytize, and moderates are not that dedicated to pushing their beliefs.

Muslims seem to be almost all pretty moderate, probably because the radicals not only don't speak English, most of them probably don't have access to the Internet. But some of the You Tube links get pretty radical at times.

The Jews are, as Jews usually are, pretty polite and well-informed, but not here in great numbers. So what else is new?

Pagans are probably disproportionately large numbers for the same reason as atheists.

Hindus often don't let on what religion they belong to, and when they do, they are very mellow, as are Buddhists.

Answer 2

Seems to me the two largest groups here are Protestant Christians and atheists/agnostics. Part of the reason for this is because this forum is in English. If it were in Italian or Arabic I am sure these numbers would be different. There is a smaller portion of Catholics (like me) and even fewer Jews, Muslims and all others.

Answer 3

I imagine it's about 45/45 Christian/nonbeliever, with the other 10% a mixture of everything else.

But, uh, if you're taking a poll ... I'm an agnostic leaning toward atheist. Former Catholic, with an interest these days in Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.

Answer 4

You forgot Buddhist. and buddhist/christians as they are not mutually exclusive


Hea·then is a non-believer in anything supernatural and thus differs from a Pagan who may hold some belief in the supernatural.

Pa·gan defined broadly, to encompass the faith traditions outside the Abrahamic monotheistic group of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Atheism, as a philosophical view, is the position that either affirms the nonexistence of gods or rejects theism.

Agnostic was defined by T.H. Huxley, the term means one should not profess to a belief in something that cannot be proven.

Answer 5

I have all kinds of people on my contacts. I cannot pick a favorite non-atheist. There are many pagans, agnostics and christians that I like.

Answer 6

All of them except for the atheist and agnostics are pagans. Atheists follow no religion therefor can not be classed as a pagan.

Answer 7

Arrr!! I be thinkin' it's 8, 12, 49, 10, 5, 10, 3, and 3.

Answer 8

I don't really know the statistics but I think it would be good if we can use this forum to enlighten ourselves about our beliefs; i.e. be empathetic with the other fellow's belief and when doing that don't forget to tell them about God's love that made Him to send His Only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for the sin of the whole world John 3:16.

Answer 9

Arrr...I don't know the percentage, but we atheists are a goodly-sized group. Most of my contacts are atheists. I had some Christians, but they kept trying to change me. I don't allow that in real life or on here.
