Now I may ask why Hinduism is not in the polling list when with 7.1% Buddhism is there Tongue

Many reasons I think. Buddhism is a world religion, but Hinduism is more like an Indian religion. Also, Buddhism is a modern religion, based on a single prophet or preacher (just like Jesus in Christianity, prophet Mohammed in Islam), while Hinduism is a complex set of ancient and diverse beliefs. Buddhism is gaining a lot of followers world wide, through outreach activities. Hindus never believe in any outreach / missionary activity, and are normally against other people joining their religion (with some notable exceptions). Also, most importantly I heard that a Hindu can be an atheist as well.

Actually, I somehow missed Hinduism. I added it to the list.

everyone always asks questions about the belief in "god" but it's never defined.. god is a word that has to many meanings. i don't really know how to answer such a question.

Agnostic then?

that's what i usually tell people.. i'm glad i'm not an atheist, because then i'd have to tell people that i am one. it's become cult-like and they make me cringe as much as the churchgoers.

Atheists seem to be looked down upon a lot by society, at least in the places I have lived. Most of this comes from the fact that many go around saying stuff like "theists are stupid" or "use common sense" or just trying to convince everybody to change their beliefs by insulting their religion (militant Atheists). Luckily, that is just some. I believe most Atheists don't do this, and that people usually generalize against them just because they never hear anything from respectful ones. It's pretty much just racism and prejudice against them.

Agnostics seem to get much more respect, usually.

Most of "Atheists" don't know what it means exactly.

One small lesson and they would be calling themselves "Agnostics".

Oh, btw, I'm an Agnostic.

You should put that in the poll as well

I can say the same thing from people who call themselves agnostic, agnosticism and atheism aren't mutually exclusive, as they answer different questions, and I consider myself agnostic atheist, well at least from a deistic perspective.

No, that's just wannabe trolling, but.

I believe all in one God. Wink

Is that the God of the Trinity, a bunch of Gods all wrapped up into one or just one single "god".

What makes you think he got banned? Scammers don't really get banned. Spammers and persistent trolls sometimes do though.

I think it is because of the scammer tag. Isn't Dank trolling quite often? I'm not even sure why he keeps using the account since he was marked as a scammer.

Trolls gonna troll.
