GALLUP came up with a finding which I never would have realized. The number of atheists in America, while small, is greater than the number practicing all non-Christian religions added together!!
  • Here's the breakdown: Christian 84% , non-religious: 9%, non-Christian religion 5%, no response 2%.
  • No response???? Now think about that. Gallup always asks if you would mind answering some questions, so here's how the phone conversation went. "Would you mind answering some questions about your personal religious beliefs?" "No, not at all." "All right, what ARE your personal religious beliefs?" "I'd rather not say." Boggles the mind. I suppose the 2% are people who worship things they don't want to talk about, possibly The Dark Lord, or maybe even former baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn.
