Seems like atheist have more sense than religious types

[packman]

[Faux pas]

1. I

believe we do

[SheltieLover]

2. No magical thinking

No manmade rules.

[rurallib]

3. atheists really stick out in that graph

[Ron Green]

4. Atheism is a reasonable position,

in my view; I called myself an atheist for several years. People who think deeply about the big questions tend to reject dogma, and also tend to value scientific consensus.

I don’t claim to be an atheist now, but I sure got vaccinated as soon as I could.

[True Dough]

15. You're begging the question...

Where did you find god? I'm not asking because I'm seeking an opportunity to condemn your beliefs. I'm genuinely curious, if you care to share.

[Ron Green]

20. I've long believed that if there is a God, then "he" is infinite; therefore nothing outside

of God can exist. Recently, I’ve been reading a quite marvelous book called A Course of Love, kind of a sequel to A Course in Miracles, that treats this theology, along with the apparent problems of evil and suffering, in a compelling way.

An encouraging aspect of this view of individual and general awakening is that the extreme global conditions of the present days could actually encourage and accommodate the kind of turning, away from fear and greed and toward earth community, that we need.

5. Seems a 'group' is missing, eh?

No 'Jewish' opinions? This agnostic is annoyed. (Have had 2 moderna shots.)

[Midnight Writer]

6. And no Black Catholics? They break out Black Protestants.

[pnwmom]

17. They might not have had enough Black Catholics in the survey to make a meaningful sample. nt

[erronis]

23. And definitely no LGBTQ evangelicals or intelligent xians to make a meaningful sample.... nt

[stopdiggin]

27. I think the separation arises

because the behavior difference between Protestant denominations is significantly between black and white churches. Much less in Catholic congregations.
Edit: would appear that you are also correct in-so-far as numbers. 4% of Catholic numbers -- and many of those going to 'black churches.'

According to the conference, there are about 3 million African American Catholics, roughly 4% of the nation’s 69 million Catholics.

[erronis]

25. Pastafarians Rule!

[SergeStorms]

31. Ramen to that!

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

7. No Buddhist.

[Goodheart]

8. That's why we're atheist in the first place.

[llmart]

9. Well, now I'm kind of proud that I'm an atheist.

[malaise]

32. Ditto

Reason over mumbo jumbo 24 hours a day.

[Happy Hoosier]

10. Just a nitpick...

But being an atheist is not a “religious type” any more than not playing baseball is a “sport type.”

[Bev54]

14. It is not saying atheist is a religion, it is saying atheists are smarter than religious types.

[stopdiggin]

28. you're correct -- but it is sorta' nitpick

a chart (or graph) really isn't telling the true story -- if 20% of the population just -- 'disappears.' So you either stick them in somewhere (other) -- or start out with a huge caveat about what your graph really means.

[Happy Hoosier]

39. I know it is....

.... and my ocd got the better of me

[PurgedVoter]

11. That is a surprise. I would have thought that Agnostic was more likely than Atheist

That said, I would bet the ten percent Atheist holdouts are members of the incel population. It is interesting that godless heathens are more likely to be recognized by Jesus than Christians are.

[AlexSFCA]

21. if god exists, it doesn't matter whether you believe in it or not

atheist are humanists, we believe in facts supported by empirical evidence. At this time it is not possible to believe and science at the same time but it is possible to be religious and believe in science at the same time. This is precisely because religion was created by people (men). The graph above illustrates how being religious is dangerous to human life.

[bringthePaine]

12. wow, y'think?

[KentuckyWoman]

16. White evangelical ...

the stupidest group of white people on the planet. Not because of vaccine hesitancy.

I've lived in and around these people all my life. These are the ones who send Robert Tilton $1000 to prove they love Jesus and get back a 4x4" shamwow guaranteed to wipe off the devil.

And no, I'm not joking.

[malaise]

34. You need to meet some of the Afro-Caribbean evangelicals

Trust me on that

[perfessor]

18. We Atheists Just trying to put off Hell as long as we can...

[SergeStorms]

19. We'll trust quantifiable science....

over faith-based, invisible, angry sky daddies any day of the week.

[Beastly Boy]

22. Something tells me that atheists are not too crazy about going to heaven and

spending all eternity in the company of 72 virgins.

I wonder why...

[SergeStorms]

35. We're waiting for...

a religion that will come along and offer MORE virgins. 72 doesn't seem nearly enough to last an eternity.

[Ferrets are Cool]

24. Well, since you brought it up

Thank you.

[erronis]

26. Missing my father's favorite religious category: "I don't have time to worry about it."

[stopdiggin]

30. some of the looks I get

with the statement, "It just doesn't interest me ..."
(Don't know. Don't care.) It really fries people!

[BobTheSubgenius]

29. OH, they're just trying to postpone the inevitable.

Put off swimming in the Lake Of Fire for as long as possible.

[JI7]

33. At least Xtians. But how about Jews, muslims, Buddhists, etc?

[RussBLib]

36. it's likely we won't reach herd immunity

because of all the dumbass evangelicals and other protestants out there.

Thank you, Jesus!

[shrike3]

37. Not the atheists I know. None of them are getting vaccinated.

But they're the nihilistic, nothing matters, everything's a lie types.

Somebody up thread mentioned Black Catholics. The ones I know all watch Rachel Maddow and say, "Trust the Science."

Interesting that Unaffiliated and Nothing Particular people are right in line with Protestant, White and Black Protestant. Interesting/

[DontBelieveEastisEas]

38. Atheist only 20% compared to 27% for White Catholic

Many of the groups have a higher percentage that has already received a vaccine.

Is this because of age? Or is it that we tend to be procrastinators?
