Apparently you missed the previous few posts. Heis' analysis of CWE is spot on, he's rude and is incapable of accepting any criticisms about his beliefs, even though he posts them on a public forum to be read by people and commented on. Not sure if he realizes that doesn't make a whole lot of sense as the complaints always seem to be the same, lacking in substance, accusations and personal attacks. When have those tactics ever benefited anyone?
He's full of personal bias and faulty reasoning, and when pointed out, all he's got are gradeschool comebacks, as if that accomplishes anything. Read his post history and see for yourself.
Appeal to numbers/majority. It wouldn't make a difference if 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of people believed in God and I was the sole atheist in existence, it still wouldn't mean it's true. At one point in time, the vast majority of people believed the solar system orbited the Earth, at another point in time the majority of people believed the Earth was flat, see what I'm getting at? Just because a lot of people believe something is true doesn't make it true, similar to Justin Bieber or Bjork, they sell millions of albums, does that make their music the best? Whoever sells the most is the best? Do you consider the best movie in existence to be Avatar or Titanic? Because according to the most people they are...
Well, when you're sitting there, 20 years from now, I hope you remember this statement. Unless something happens that takes out the internet worldwide, we will continue to see the numbers of people who claim any traditional religion fall. And you misunderstand me in this sense because you seem to think I want everybody to stop believing in God and until that day, I won't rest! Which isn't the case at all. I couldn't care less if people believe in God. I want people to stop killing people for/because of/in the name of God. I want people to accept reality for what it is and not ancient myths they're not prepared to get past. This is something you agree with but fail to acknowledge because of the place it's coming from.

"Nonreligious" can break either way imo. I don't think they can be counted either as confirmed theists or atheists. cn

Why does the percentage of religious followers matter?
I think you have a reading problem. I computed non-religious and atheist. And that's from the CIA fact book. Ya know? The one you made up your 97% from?
Buddhists do not believe in a god: http://www.buddhanet.net/ans73.htm . Must recompute.Christian 33.35% (of which Roman Catholic 16.83%, Protestant 6.08%, Orthodox 4.03%, Anglican 1.26%), Muslim 22.43%, Hindu 13.78%, Buddhist 7.13%, Sikh 0.36%, Jewish 0.21%, Baha'i 0.11%, other religions 11.17%, non-religious 9.42%, atheists 2.04% (2009 est.)
2.04% + 9.42% + 7.13% = 18.59%. 100% - 18.59% = 81.41%
81.41% <> 97%
Any other variables i should know about?
edit: Actually kaendar you should really read that link. It explains perfectly why humans created god.
edit2: I'm starting to think I should become a buddhist. I mean I'm already a little chubby.

err WOW , you seriousley think trees plants water and animals etc were put on this planet for humans ? lol humans have been on this planet for a fraction of the time this planet has been around. all those things you said have been around a hell of a lot longer than humans .
dinosaurs were using water trees and plants millions of years before we mere humans were even in existance .
some of the posts ive read from you in this thread are verging on the rediculous .
Hey, thats what it says in the bible. Nothing conflicting so I go with it.
attacks by demons , wtf have you been smoking ? dont you think if people were being attacked by fucking demons all the time , it would be pretty big fuckin news , it would be being documented, photographs , videos , news reports , people paniking , it would be absolute mayhem .i for one wouldnt dare leave the house , if i thought for one minuite there was a chance of being attacked by a demon , and wtf is a demon in your opinion ?
why the bible ? why not the quaran or any of the other holy books ? what makes the bible right and the others wrong ?because only 1 of them can be telling the truth ,
