Why do believers even give an atheist a second thought? Is it the argument? From what I understand an atheist is someone who does NOT believe in God or a Higher Intelligence. Is there a higher intellegence higher than God? I say no. Let the atheist be, quit poking...the atheist likes the center stage. I believe in Jesus Christ the Savior or the world. My :2c:
Those questions were very easy. So--what does it mean? I could see people not knowing about other religions--no problem there--but to not know about your own religion? And, to not understand the history of the supreme court and [your] religion? That's troublesome. And, that's the public school system's problem.
I don't trust these surveys.
The atheists like to think they are the sharpest knife in the drawer. That's what this is all about. I hear this all day long. But, I got 100 percent right. They can kiss my feet. :laughing7:

I don't understand that answer/conclusion Micah. AFAIK "Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life." is not Christian bashing organisation.
It's not needed to believe everything you know. We all know Alice in Wonderland and speeches by politicians. But if we really believe it....
