Strongly disagree should be on the far left. And what is the definition of "acceptable"?

    Hmmm. I wonder what criteria was used to select the countries for this survey. Definitely interested in why certain ones are missing…

    I sure am surprised to see that Israel didn't appear on this list. Kinda sus.

    Wow nice to see my country wins another award!

    I was wondering why I couldn't find Israel on the list, I suspected they would fall on to one of the extremes, then I remembered Israel isn't a real country

    Everything adds up to 100%… but since atheism isn’t a religion, how was that handled? Were only religious people interviewed?

    Atheists could have a spectrum as well. There are atheists that don't give a shit what sky daddy you talk to when you are scared and others that think that all religious people are irredeemable morons that should be castrated so the ignorance of religion can't be spread further.

    Do the 18% of Japanese who agree mean Buddhism or Shintō?

    Very proud that UK is right near the bottom of this list, but feels wild that its "only 90%".

    I wonder how many people were actuallt surveyed, nobody asked me.

    I'm not religious, but if I was, I'd be in the "Strongly agree" category. It's the only one that makes sense, no? Who would believe in their religion 100% but think that other religions are also fine? It's like saying you believe in science but astrology is also acceptable.

    I don't think most religions don't really argue about other people's faith to much. Christianity has the parable of the good Samaritan, for instance.

    Also early Islam was really tolerant of people of other faith. The problem arises mainly when faith gets incorporated in nationalism. You see that in the data too, countries that have religion tied to the national ideal are most intolerant.

    Why would it not be acceptable to let others believe in different things than you do? Just because you believe in something and are convinced what the other person believes in is wrong, that doesnt mean you cant accept them believing in it.

    Not every religious person is 100% religious. How can you be 100% sure something like a god (or gods) doesn't exist? How would you know? In the grand scheme of things, you are nigh imperceptible. Whether you live or die, are happy or sad, might not matter in the slightest. There are more galaxies than there are grains of sand on this planet.

    Claiming to know a god doesn't exist is as laughable as claiming a god does exist. Accepting that one doesn't know everything is not a sign of weakness, lack of belief, or mental fortitude, it's a realistic way of approaching the world.
