What is a Jew

[ICantSpellDawg]

A small note:

At the CIA site the following is said on the composition of members of religions in US:

Protestant 52%, Roman Catholic 24%, Mormon 2%, Jewish 1%, Muslim 1%, other 10%, none 10%

According to this only 10% of the Americans don't have any faith. Would this be accurate ? This forum would indicate something different....

Are you serious?
You are basing your interpretation of national belief on (mainly) incredibly young internet users who are into "Total War" and tend to argue about things to a fault? The environment of questioning is not conducive to Theism or Religion in general (from my opinion). I am 22 and live in New York. I am an atheist, yet i feel as though I am in the minority. Of my age group, maybe not, but even in a bastion of atheism there is still much faith. Those C.I.A. figures would lead me, instead of making a statement about its innacuracy, to thinking about the 10% "none" group.

Why would there be a "none" selection if people who were raised with a religion were expected to identify with that same religion irrespective of belief? Oh, that is right, they wouldn't because many people realize that that would be absurd.

Also - if you speak to some atheists, eventually an inkling of a belief in a creator or intelligent design theory creeps out (or something that rationalizes their moral code). Myself included, although it is based soely on a non-scientific empiricism (if that isn't an oxymoron)
