28% of Americans are now religiously unaffiliated. A new study from Pew Research looks at how atheists, agnostics and those whose religion is "nothing in particular" view God, religion and morality.

Not a new article, but I find it reassuring sometimes knowing how many people identity as not having a religion.

If you wanted to learn real astronomy, you would ask an astronomer, right? If I told you to instead, you should talk to a flat eather or an astrologist, you would know those are not reliable sources of knowledge.

Do you think MAGA and friends are a realibale source or what faith and spirituality are like? Religion? Maybe. But faith and spirituality?

People are not stupid. The world is complicated.

    Yeah you can use that argument to toss out any group and its not about getting their opinion but realizing in general this can happen and once your a few generations out even rational kids can be indoctrinated. Nobody religious has any proof of god. This just knocked out the weak legs I was trying to prop the idea up on due to my own bias.
