Americans with 'no religious affiliation' on the rise in America -- (link) - ty97 Oct 15, 06:17 20
- Without reading the article, I can only assume it's because more and more people are realizing that so much of organized religion is kinda BS. - Jim Oct 15, 06:21 19
  - amen. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 06:37
  - This is probably correct. Not a decrease in belief in God, but a decrease in adherence to organized religion. -- nm - TWuG Oct 15, 06:29 17
    - Well there's also a rise in people doubting the existence of God according to the article... -- nm - Guigue Oct 15, 06:33 11
      - I'm somewhat shocked that 80% still say they never doubt the existence of God. - ty97 Oct 15, 06:36 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        This is where I expect many (most?) religious people fall and why it comes down to interpretation of the question. -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 06:50
        
        Hell, I'm about as confirmed an athiest as you can get and still wonder if I'm wrong on occasion. -- nm - TWuG Oct 15, 06:44
      - [deleted] 6
        
        why would you doubt it? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 06:38
        
        I think I disagree. I think the rise in 'unaffiliateds' without a sharp rise in atheists/agnostics is evidence of the opposite. - ty97 Oct 15, 06:38 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Ok honest question: why do you guys believe so firmly there's not change in the belief of God? -- nm - Guigue Oct 15, 06:37 2

    - With more and more corruption and bad press...it's only natural for people to say, "Fuck you Jobu, I do it myself." -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 06:31 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Is bad to steal Jobu's rum. Is VERY bad. -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 06:36
    - Yes, the main rise is in 'unaffiliateds', not atheists or agnostics. - ty97 Oct 15, 06:31 1

  - Same. I need 6 1/2 from Decker tonight. -- nm - Was Bar Was Oct 15, 06:19 1
    - So, when he gets his TD in the first quarter, you'll have your win. -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 06:41

  - Spawn left 51pts on his bench - including Shonn Greene. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 06:17 2
    - I left Denarius Moore on mine but I should still eek out the win as long as Decker doesn't outscore Stoakly by more than 10 -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 06:27
