We seem to be better at counting than you are but if that is what you like to think go for it. Complacency by the relgious is good :-) >Don't forget out of those 1.6 percent who say they are atheist, also a >percent of them still believe in God. LOL OK don't call us normal, it was only an invitation You were the one who expressed difficulty writing 'atheist'. I was just trying to help you. You still have the option of calling us 'not theist' rather than using the abbreviated form.

More like 16% who openly say they are atheist in America, and more every day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreligion_in_the_United_States Encompassing at least agnosticism, atheism, deism,[a] secular humanism, and general secularism,[4] Americans without a religious affiliation represent about 20% or more of the population.[1][2][5] and since the early 1990s, independent polls have shown their rapid growth.[6][7] > > > Don't forget out of those 1.6 percent who say they are atheist Where do you get less than 16%? -- Virgil "Mit der Dummheit kampfen Gotter selbst vergebens."
