Religion is a mane made construct for social control. Your teacher was right about Christianity in theory and I know because I was raised with Christian beliefs. As I became an adult I started to realize all of the contradictions, holes and lack of logic. I believe in God, but not religion. IMO, religion is just a sekf serving ideology that people use to make themselves feel like they are better than other people. The most despicable people I knew were followers of the Christian faith. How can you trust a group of hypocrites filled with sinners? Anyway people are free to let someone else tell them how to think and what to believe, but I will continue to tbink for myself. No one can speak for God, but God and certainly no book.

I know what dark_gh0st_b0y meant when he said Christian countries. I don't see how you didn't, unless you were trying to be a smarty pants

Simply because there aren't any christian countries. Calling a country christian, because of the amount of it's people is simply wrong. This has nothing to do being a smarty pants like you want to call it. Just stick to the official definitions and facts. Thank you.

Well it's easy to see the worlds shifting tolerances.

In the past Atheism was persecuted against, it's without a doubt shifting towards the opposite. I mean there's many people on this site that are quite aggressively anti-religion. Someone posted on here that having a religious belief is "mentally infant". In class at the age of 14 my biology teacher was making fun of Christianity at the front of class. It's amazing how many people attack ALL religious people with sweeping statements of them being uneducated, ignorant or delusional.

The world is becoming more tolerant in some cases (LGBTQ, Ethnicity) but when it comes to religious beliefs it's shifting the opposite way.

I just avoid religious threads, but even then you can't avoid it. Going into a thread about a horrific tragedy like the attack in Nice only to leave with several users in that thread calling you (not directly) and EVERYONE who is religious "stupid", "delusional", "uneducated", "mentally infant" is unnacceptable.

I wouldn't say religious people are stupid or mentally ingant, delusional yes, but that is because religion is a form of mind control. They used Christianity to mentally demoralize slaves in the U.S, which is something thay is ignored mostly in history. I would say it is a lack of education, because religion is singular and closed minded with no gray areas, while the world is not that way. Ironically God's thinking and God's abilities contradict religious thinking because God created a variety of creatures. If God had thought like religious followers tge Earth would not be a system of endless possibilities and species.

The amount of religious people in a country doesn't determine what kind of country it is. Ever heard of secularism?

I was referring to countries whose large majority are Christians in religion, even if tou take the 20 happiest countries of the world, 19/20 are Christian countries (ie. about 70% of the population are Christians in religion)

Look at history and how that came to be. Specifically the US was stolen from Native Americans with Eurpoeans forcing Christianity on the slaves and those that were immigrants. Same with Mexico and Brazil as they colonized both and forced their language as well as their religion onto them. Natives to those countries were not originally Christian, which is a discussion into itself. Also calling thise the "happiest" countries is false as many people in all those countries are oppressed and poor. So that makes it impossible for them to be happy. I encourage people to look at was actually is, instead of what they think.

I don't deny history, this is about present

it's a statistical investigation, Brazil and Mexico are below other more developed, still Christian, countries anyway

a big discussion really



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

eh... I wouldn't make such a bold statements. 

And after checking craighopkins List, it's not accurate. For example. He listed China as 7th place. Where as Christianity in China is only 2.3-4% of it's population. But it's not a happy country. At least of what that questionable source says.

Netherlands on the other hand with 23-44 % of christians is ranked as 7th. The rest of the countries are as about 70%.  But still, I don't think that this number has anything to do with why a country is being labeled as happy(?)  I presume that the reason for being happy are that those are mainly 1st world countries with a secular state. And that's the keynote here.

The Bible, to my knowledge, is very one-sided. We only see it from the point of view of God. How do we know that he is not deceiving us and lying to us? God seems to be very authoritarian, and seems to want complete control. Maybe Satan is just a really nice guy who's been misunderstood.

Anyways, if Neymar wants to wear the bandana, go ahead.

A recent study also revealed that only 37% of the norwegian population believe in a god, despite 70% being a member of the norwegian church. So I wouldn't say membership numbers for religious organisations accurately reflect the amount of religious people in a country.
