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.

When did I talk about 4chan. Maga runs the country currently. Its more a scenario that there is no proof but I gave a benefit of the doubt reasoning that religions could possibly have some core truth and people following them would give credence. Since its plain now that people will follow any bs it sorta throws out the scrap of a possibility it had. It already had issues with more recent religions were historical data is decent enough to see how they're view of their origins and the actual ones conflict. Given religion wise even when I was agnostic the only possible god could not be described by any religion in existence.

Isn't the Qanon stuff all from 4chan?

Some idiots believing one thing does not disprove the existence of krishna, Thor or any other God of your choosing.

Given religion wise even when I was agnostic the only possible god could not be described by any religion in existence.

That position still sounds reasonable. MAGA doesn't change your logic.

Yup. Heck videos of people out in public. It was not just 4chan. I guess you could say its an internet thing like everything on the planet. Anyway may not make sense to you but it certainly was enough for me.
