Reply #262: I don't think there are "no" anything anywhere [View All]

By and large. I am not very fond of absolutes. However, the military folks among my family and friends became MORE religious once their lives were in jeopardy.

As for the actual stats, like most other statistics, I question their validity. Many people here, for instance, revel in their atheism. In a different setting, perhaps they would strive to hide it. Perhaps those taking the stats simply recorded the religion of record and not the current religious view.

I do love it when atheists claim essentially that the more educated you become the more likely you are to find "true enlightenment" and reject religion. It's really among the more offensive atheist claims.
