here it is:



- in France and also others europeans countries: theres not such chart available. Basically religions does not need to be exposed.
- In that chart i can see ALL of those house/senate members HAVE a religions
So not having any religion is considered isnt politically acceptable ?

- in congress; all mormons are republicains and nearly all jews excepted 1 (wich one?) are democrat.
- All others religions are democrat.
So sound like theres only interest groups inthere ?

- In senate mormons are 7% of seats !
Well, how ? :D

Those are just their religions on the paper application for the job.

Also, who cares? We are a plural nation and it probably looks something like that composition.

Actually there's one unitarian and one unaffiliated there... so that's two people who are essentially atheists. Probably a lot more though tbh... most politicians wouldn't dare say they are atheist. France (for all it's far right nationalistic swagger) is still a much more socially advanced country than the US. The US is simply too big to move at the same pace as the rest of the world and hasn't had as much time to do so either. They'll always be a little backward.

I like how you go about saying that as if atheism is so much of a better route than religion, and a more obviously correct one. Scholars 10000x smarter than you have debated for centuries and there are still religious people here....... Where is your standpoint?

My battle buddy in boot camp was a Mormon, and so were a few other solid soldiers in my platoon. I see them walking around a lot here spreading their gospel. Well-dressed and well-manned white kids walking around the toughest neighborhoods in the city armed with nothing but faith and the people respect it. They have funds here which provide private parochial education for people wishing to go that route, which can be a pretty powerful thing.

I'm happy to have em.

ICYMI: The Americans came here and rebelled to escape the backwards and oppressive ways of Europe.
Religious freedom was one of the big perks, so we have a variety of religions throughout the country.

Meanwhile you still worship a queen.

I've stated my 'standpoint' in many threads prior to this. Not gonna derail it by talking about it.

The more developed a nation is, the wealthier and better educated, the more atheistic it is. Except America... which is an anomaly.

As for 'scholars 10000x smarter than me' I have no idea how you'd work that out. If you're going by IQ that's impossible. Nobody has that high an IQ. The most you'd get is about 1.2x smarter than me.

Truth. Creepy as they are and with as much ridiculous shit as they believe... They are still much better than christians.
