Link to the Newsweek article below. Personally it seems that the demographics are quickly changing. I doubt such a high percentage will continue to exist. I also find it difficult to believe that over half of Americans reject the theory of evolution...

Your thoughts?

That's why I was confused when I found most people on this site were atheists. I guess America can't speak for the rest of the world.

ahh this is from Wikipedia under the pentecostal section: "This is another major difference between Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians, who believe that a Christian baptized in the Holy Spirit may exhibit certain supernatural signs, including speaking in tongues, "being slain in the spirit" (where people fall to the ground as if asleep or in convulsions), prophecy (i.e. a vision or a word of God, spoken or felt in the spirit), miraculous healings, miraculous signs, etc."

Einstien believed in God, he is smarter then anyone. Galileo believed in God, He is also smarter then everyone. Newton believed in God,He again, is smarter then everyone. You're logic is flawed. Atheism is for the weak, who are so selfish they put theirself 1st and can follow a few simple restrictions.

You are wrong. Admit it. Why can't evolution and creationism both be true? Creationism says animals were here before humans, Maybe evolution was God way of creating humans

That's a possibility I personally don't believe in it because it sounds a little far fetched, but so does the big bang theory.

This may be one of the most absurd post I have ever read.

I second that remark. So people that believe in God/a higher being are automatically not intelligent? Obviously you haven't met my grandpa; professor of electrical engineering at BYU (highly rated university), does consulting for Intel, is very well read on many different things, was invited to give a lecture in Paris France this past December, and is also creating a new circuit... so don't make ignorant comments like that just because you don't believe in a god or a higher power. Making a comment like that makes you look like the unintelligent kid around here...

I think that statistic is more or less accurate, but it really depends on one's interpretation of what it means to "beleive"

Excuse me but... I was raised in a Catholic school and now an Atheist because Catholicism doesn't work for me, I don't agree with their ways. And I will admit that I put myself first a lot, but the way you put it makes it sound like you believe that only Atheists do that, and that logic is not entirely true.

God exists as much as the individual person believe he exists. God may exist very much to one person, but not at all to another. I believe in the possibility that a higher force exists. Whether that force is your God or not is trivial.

Well if the majority of Americans believe in God and the majority of Americans watch porn, that means that the majority of God-believing Americans aren't following God's guidelines.

They're lying to their God and their religion.


And if a God-believing American can lie to his own God, then his word on a poll isn't all that important to me.

These Christians only believe in God because they have been influenced by their parents at a young age. You can't change their minds now. They only believe in God because that is what they have been taught. If only they would take the time and research about other religions to pick a religion for themselves...
