| The answer is Norway but 86% of their population are members of the Church of Norway, so I'm not seeing the point you're trying to make |

| Norway is obviously the most stable, they spent all their rage up in the early middle ages so they're chill. |

It's not an important part of their life.
On the same scope the US is at 36%. |

| If you don't know anything about a religion and go to church as tradition you can't really be considered religious. |

1. "40–50% of non-religious people hold belief in at least one deity, or in some higher power"
2. "The Gallup poll has the broadest definition of irreligion: the question "Is religion an important part of your daily life?" was asked; the "no" answer is represented below. Dentsu Communication Institute provides data for respondents who stated they have "no religion". Phil Zuckerman uses only the number who describe themselves as atheist or agnostic. The numbers come from different years, and might not be accurate for countries with governments that require or urge religion or secularism."
4. Interesting how Zuckerman only asks for atheists and agnostics and gets a response as low as 31% |

so how does this work if you're an atheist and you don't know anything about a religion yet often misunderstand it and skew it's beliefs daily, does your opinion even matter? how are people supposed to take you seriously if you don't even know what you don't believe in |

"EVERYONE is atheist before they're indoctrinated by religion at the age of 3" This is just plain wrong, atheism or theism require existential contemplation and higher level thinking. Toddlers never contemplate the meaning of life so they are neither atheist or theist. They don't fit anywhere on the belief spectrum, their belief system is undefined. |

theism requires no "contemplation and higher level thinking" sorry
>Toddlers never contemplate the meaning of life so they are neither atheist or theist.
you don't have to contemplate the meaning of life to be either
>They don't fit anywhere on the belief spectrum, their belief system is undefined.
they lack belief in a god or deity therefore they are atheist, you have to be TAUGHT to be a theist
>You for sure don't lol
funny
