Recent polling suggests that in England, France, and German, the percentage of nonbelievers is higher than believers. Does this mean that God exists everywhere except in those countries?

I would have added my usual invitation to Explain It Like I'm Stupid but there wasn't enough room in the question field. So please consider the invitation as being implied. Thank you.

god doesn't exist ANYWHERE. What appears to be more abundant in those countries is common sense

"Does this mean that God exists everywhere except in those countries?"
No, it means a lot of people in Europe are seriously and fundamentally wrong, or a lot of people in the USA and Nigeria are seriously and fundamentally wrong.
The belief doesn't change the reality, not even on the majority view (how undemocratic is that!?) The world didn't flip from flat to round the moment the latter became the majority conviction.
What people firmly believe to be true and what is true cannot safely be equated, though it's often done.

Quite simply because God is a non proveable fact. We also have a lot of people who do belive in God but not in religion and I believe it actually makes those places a better place to live.

"Explain It Like I'm Stupid"
Invisible Sky Critters do not exist anywhere in the universe or other big place.
It is all a scam to keep control of the peasants.
That sounds as if I'm implying USians are peasants.

i think sorry for people who truly are atheist because of the fact those human beings have surely puzzled the equipment with the consumer, the equipment being evolution, the so-referred to as vast bang, planetary accretion, and each of something of technological awareness. technological awareness in ordinary terms tells us _how_ something happens and in no way _who_ instituted the act. technological awareness is blind to each little thing yet actual products no count number if those products be guy or woman sub-atomic debris or stars contemporary in area. There are people who declare atheism yet who truly are actually not atheist. a real atheist would not _care_ if somebody believes in "a god" because of the fact the genuine atheist "knows of" that there are none. because of the fact of this, IMO, the so-referred to as atheists that we discover trolling here on solutions are actually not genuine atheists, they probably are merely people who opt for to communicate, argue, and "cuss at" faith in many circumstances.

Based on the theory that God only exists when people believe in him, I'd have to say you're right.

God is omnipresent. He exists in all places all at the same time.
The number of believers does not determine His existence.
The god of this age (affluence) has blinded the hearts of most of the developed nations. Money has been the rival of God in the hearts of men ever since.

God has clearly abandoned England, France & Germany, and that's why their economies are growing.

God exists everywhere, the fact that a majority of people in these countries refuse to acknowledge his existence does not change the fact that he is God. Just because you do not believe in something does not make it so. God does not require us to validate his existence through our belief in him. The earth turns on it's axis and our being ignorant of this does not stop the world from turning, and so it is with God.
