Troll did make me look, and Google promptly showed me material on ARIS 2008 similar to Perknose's:

http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2009-03-09-american-religion-ARIS_N.htm
"Most religious groups in USA have lost ground, survey finds"

"So many Americans claim no religion at all (15 % up from 8%; in 1990), that this category now outranks every other major U.S. religious group except Catholics and Baptists. In a nation that has long been mostly Christian, "the challenge to Christianity … does not come from other religions but from a rejection of all forms of organized religion," the report concludes. "

If the non-religious are increasing by almost 0.5%; a year then by ~2070 the agnostics and atheists will be in the majority.

If instead the percent is doubling every 20 years then it's 30% in 2030, 60% in 2050 and 120% of all citizens will be non-religious in 2070. Ramen!

I've been thinking:

What would it take to incorporate Ted Nugent into my Murray-on-cottage cheese dreams?

:hmm:

Does this distress you in some way?

Does it distress me that that so many atheist post on Anandtech?

Not in the least, I believe in freedom and the right to chose to believe or not believe.

Does it distress you that a few Christians post here?

Judging from this thread, it seems to distress a lot of your fellow non-believers.

Then why do you keep making religion threads?

Last I checked that this was mostly a free country. Believe what you want.

Since you conveniently ignored the remainder of my post, I will re-post it.

I am an atheist, and I don't care if you like it or not. If I'm wrong I still don't care because I'm not associated with stupidity like this:

"I think the president's problem is that he was born a Muslim, his father was a Muslim. The seed of Islam is passed through the father like the seed of Judaism is passed through the mother. He was born a Muslim, his father gave him an Islamic name," Graham told CNN's John King in a televised interview that aired Thursday night. hool Claim

"Now it's obvious that the president has renounced the prophet Mohammed, and he has renounced Islam, and he has accepted Jesus Christ. That's what he says he has done. I cannot say that he hasn't. So I just have to believe that the president is what he has said," Graham continued, adding that "the Islamic world sees the president as one of theirs."

To Stupidity and Beyond!

I've said many times that religion is a communicable disease, but I never said it was genetic. The person saying this is "Rev. Franklin Graham" one of Christianity's more highly respected evangelical leaders. What do you think about what he said? Do you (honestly) believe this? Is this what the Bible says?

Albert Einstein beleived in God. I'd say that's puts me in pretty good company.

You are a pure troll. But I'll take the bait.

No he was not. He stated multiple times he did not believe in God, a deity, or a Supreme Being. He stated that nothing in this universe convinced him that there was some "guiding" hand behind the scenes directing everything.

The ONLY thing he states was that the universe was his god. Meaning all the mysteries, laws, and the joys of learning how everything ticks was his god. A slightly more spiritual perception if anything. But he definitely denounced what he called "personal" gods or any form of supreme being guiding the universe, let alone our individual lives.

Damn you are a fucking mental case. After I owned you in that other thread you have to start something else again?

Then you use retarded and dubious Christian sources for your references as if those sources are actually legitimate. Terrible and shameful. You might as well use crap the Westboro Baptist Church posts on their sites as factual reference for backing up how gays are the ruin of all nations. I mean someone posted it from an authoritative perspective so it has to be true somewhat right?

Now that I'm done, go crawl back under a rock.

I don't define myself as an atheist because I think it's silly to define yourself by not believing in something that doesn't exist.
