@Elganned How can one help themselves!!!

It's only in the parts of the planet where the citizens get free public liberal education, as opposed to the US where they get education aimed getting people a job. The gringos have more churches than schools. They are as outwardly as religious as they are in middle eastern theocracies.

@WonderWartHog99 Gringos? As in slang word for Non-spanish? Sorry...your demographics are not correct.

The religious profile of the world is rapidly changing, driven primarily by differences in fertility rates and the size of youth populations among the world’s major religions, as well as by people switching faiths. Over the next four decades, Christians will remain the largest religious group, but Islam will grow faster than any other major religion. If current trends continue, by 2050 …

The number of Muslims will nearly equal the number of Christians around the world.
Atheists, agnostics and other people who do not affiliate with any religion – though increasing in countries such as the United States and France – will make up a declining share of the world’s total population.

The global Buddhist population will be about the same size it was in 2010, while the Hindu and Jewish populations will be larger than they are today.

In Europe, Muslims will make up 10% of the overall population.

India will retain a Hindu majority but also will have the largest Muslim population of any country in the world, surpassing Indonesia.

In the United States, Christians will decline from more than three-quarters of the population in 2010 to two-thirds in 2050, and Judaism will no longer be the largest non-Christian religion. Muslims will be more numerous in the U.S. than people who identify as Jewish on the basis of religion.

Four out of every 10 Christians in the world will live in sub-Saharan Africa.

These are among the global religious trends highlighted in new demographic projections by the Pew Research Center. The projections take into account the current size and geographic distribution of the world’s major religions, age differences, fertility and mortality rates, international migration and patterns in conversion.

@Robecology Sorry...your demographics are not correct [snip] The religious profile of the world is rapidly changing

I have two major qualms about your reply.

1. I didn't give demographics.
2. Your cited source speaks about of the FUTURE. I'm talking about the present day. No telling what the future will bring although one can make predictions based on current trends.

>Gringos? As in slang word for Non-spanish?

It's slang that generally means foolish people living north of the Rio Grand, a word often used by Mexicans.

@Diagoras Now more people are laughing.

You're basing that assumption on the people you associate with. Because this social network is for agnostics (it's in the name, dude) and atheists, we'un's all giggle bunnies on the topic.

He who still laughs has not been told the terrible truth.

"A poll of the religious composition of the new Congress by the Pew Research Center and CQ Roll Call finds that more than 99 percent of the Republican members identify as Christian, as opposed to 78 percent of the Democrats."

@WonderWartHog99 "Gringos have more churches than schools"...

evidence?
data?
Racist much?

Here in upstate South Carolina, the typical goat goes for about $85 to $55 each.

It's the camel that is expensive: $5,500 to $6,500. Before you ask, there are exotic animal ranchers in my area. There's even one guy who rents out his camels and llamas to Hollywood. BTW, there's big bucks in llama manure.

Us gardeners know all the good shit.

@WonderWartHog99

She was only the ranchers daughter, but all the cow manure.

@Elganned Happens all the time.
