You think 32% of the world population is Christian or Jewish? I think that is way too high a percentage. China and India are well over one billion each. Neither is a Christian nation. And all those other densely populated southeast Asian countries are not Christian. Don't think Africa has many Christians. Not Japan either. Not the middle east. The only Christian/Jew parts of the world are Europe, South American, North America, Australia, Israel. They might make up 25% of the world population. Then deduct all of the non believers and other believing immigrants from those populations. You are down to 10-15% of the world population believing in a Christian, Jew god. Not 32%. You underestimate African Christian culture I think: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...ing-in-europe/ True I did forget about the African Christian connection. My Mom's church/faith gets lots of ministers from Africa and the Philippines. And sends money and missionaries to Africa. But I'm still sticking with my statement that 32% of the world is not Christian/Jewish. I'm sure the billion plus in India are not Christian. And I'm equally positive the billion plus in China and the rest of Asia are not Christian. So that is 50% of the world's total population gone right there. Well Pew, a rather respected group seem to think differently: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...ing-in-europe/ Christians remained the largest religious group in the world in 2015, making up nearly a third (31%) of Earth's 7.3 billion people, according to a new Pew Research Center demographic analysis. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_by_country The Christian population of India is 30,000,000 Of China is 31,220,000[43] to 67,070,000[22] ref 43 - Chinese Family Panel Studies's survey of 201 ref 22 - Christianity (2010)" (PDF).

It’s gonna be a hell of a shock when those people get to the Pearly Gates and find Buddha there. So among your other talents you haven't any idea of what Buddhism is? Whatever... The point of this atheist’s post was that with the multiplicity of religions out there all praising their “One True God”, if there is an afterlife, there’s gonna be a lot of people disappointed that they bet on the wrong horse. Buddhism doesn't offer an afterlife. It is a way of life that also happens to pretty much align with Christianity. This is why so many Indians and Chinese converted to Christianity Actually Tom, very few Chinese convert to Christianity. Surveys made, in China, in 2005,6 and 7 showed that between 2 - 3% of Chinese were Christians. A survey done in 2011 showed that 2.3% were Christian and the latest survey, 2017, showed that 2.53 %were Christian. In the same periods some 11-16%, 13% and 15.87% were Buddhist. In India in surveys made from 1952 until 2011 Christians have ranged from 2.3% to 2.6% in 1971 to 2.3% in 2011. During the same period Buddhists have been 0.74%, 0.70% and 0.70%. As has been noted in the past, you just don't know what you are talking about. -- cheers, John B. |

The remaining 20% is unclear since they are not properly testing people but it appears that the virus CAN be fatal to about 3% of them however the treatment methods look to be working very well. Perhaps this is the reason that there seems to be a sharp drop in fatalities. Though perhaps it can be more widespread testing which increases the baseline and makes the mortality rate calculations.

And I'm equally positive the billion plus in China and the rest of Asia are not Christian. So that is 50% of the world's total population gone right there. Well Pew, a rather respected group seem to think differently: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...ing-in-europe/ Christians remained the largest religious group in the world in 2015, making up nearly a third (31%) of Earth's 7.3 billion people, according to a new Pew Research Center demographic analysis. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_by_country The Christian population of India is 30,000,000 Of China is 31,220,000[43] to 67,070,000[22] ref 43 - Chinese Family Panel Studies's survey of 201 ref 22 - Christianity (2010)" (PDF). (probable translation: No one knows for sure :-) Uh, thank you? I posted that same PEW link above :-) Yes you did. I just used it for "reinforcement" :-) -- cheers, John B. |
