    From the minority? Are you having trouble reading? It’s okay I’ll explain it again, education is hard to come by these days.

    If you take the US for example, if all religious people were diehard people trying to replace your rights with the word of god, you’d have a dominant conservative majority every year. The minority is exactly the small group of conservatives who are trying to use religion to fire up their base.

    The truth is more than 75% of people are religious in the US, but only a minority use it to support draconic policies from the right. A lot of them are democrats or other not bothering you with their beliefs, and leaving it out of politics. You’re confusing all religious people and religious institutions/groups.

    +80% of people on earth are religious. Thats 58,000 million people…if they all used their beliefs to dictate policy we’d be back to the middle ages.

      Zero chance that “more” than 75% of Americans are religious.

      And your 80% of people on Earth numbers are fucked.

      Talk about a shit education.

        Way to ridicule yourself by sharing no stats at all and not even googling anything. If those percentages are wrong, what are they then? Seems you don’t know the first thing about “education”.

        Worldwide, more than eight-in-ten people identify with a religious group. A comprehensive demographic study of more than 230 countries and territories conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life estimates that there are 5.8 billion religiously affiliated adults and children around the globe, representing 84% of the 2010 world population of 6.9 billion.

        Pew research. Don’t be fooled by the 2010 count of population, you can find the updated stats in the article).

        The vast majority of U.S. adults believe in God, but the 81% who do so is down six percentage points from 2017 and is the lowest in Gallup’s trend. Between 1944 and 2011, more than 90% of Americans believed in God.

        Gallup’s May 2-22 Values and Beliefs poll finds 17% of Americans saying they do not believe in God.

        Belief in god “dips” to 81%

      I’d argue the only people trying to take rights away and replace it with their own morality is Christians. Also, they are succeeding. I’d also argue there is a high percentage of that 75% that identify Christian but have no real affiliation with a church and only practice a pseudo Christian based morality.
